Peer reviewedMulholland, Timothy M.; And Others – Cognitive Psychology, 1980
Adults' geometric analogy solution was investigated as a function of systematic variations in the information structure of items. Latency data from verification of true and false items were recorded. A model incorporating assumptions about the form of item representation, working memory factors, and processing components and strategies was…

Direct linkReyes, Edgar N.; Gray, Elizabeth D. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
It is shown that the bisector of a segment of a geodesic and the bisector of an angle in hyperbolic geometry can be expressed in terms of points which are equidistant from the end points of the segment, and points that are equidistant from the rays of the angle, respectively. An important tool in the approach is that the shortest distance between…
