Analogical studiesdemonstrate that participants often fail to retrieve a well-learned base analogduring the subsequent processing of a semantically-distant target analog. We evaluated whether presenting the target analog before the base analogincreases analogical retrieval during hypothesis-generation. Experiment 1revealed a higher rate of analogical retrieval when the target analog precededthe base analog, as compared to the traditional “base-target” sequence. Using afactorial design, Experiment 2 assessed whether spontaneously acknowledging therelevance of a subsequently encountered explanation for resuming a failedexplanatory attempt requires the presence of structural similarities betweenthe base and target situations. Results demonstrated that the primarycontributor to spontaneous reactivation of a failed explanatory attempt is thepresentation of an analogous phenomenon, while the presence of a usefulexplanation alone did not yield a significant impact. These findings contributevaluable insights to the dynamics of analogical retrieval and offer relevant implications for educational strategies.
