Abstract: As the "core of cognition", analogical reasoning refers the process of generating inferences based on relational correspondences between two domains. In the recent years, researchers have begun to explore analogical reasoning using eye-movement technology. An advantage of using eye tracking on analogical reasoning is that it provides a real-time metric of the strategies that individual is engaging in while solving the task. By analyzing the order and amount of time that individual spend fixating on the various items in the analogy problem,researchers can gain insight that how individual is integrating information over the course of a trial before arriving at a solution. Recent studies have found three analogical strategies based on eye movement pattern.-project-first strategy, structure-mapping strategy and semantic-constrain strategy. Previous results showed that adults used more project-first strategy, while children used more semantic-constraint strategy. Future study can optimize the eye movement on analogy, especially the global saccade path. Furthermore, study would also focus special group's eye pattern on analogical reasoning and its relationship with behavior prediction.

Key words: analogical reasoning, eye movement, children, analogical reasoning strategy
