Analogical Thinking

So what is analogical thinking?

Analogical thinking is what we do when we use information from one domain (the source or analogy) to help solve a problem in another domain (the target). Experts often use analogies during the process of problem solving, and analogies have been involved in numerous scientific discoveries. However, studies of novice problem solvers show that they often have difficulty in recognising that one problem can be used to solve another.

So the picture up there shows an axe.It shows the different designs to create an axe.How axe can be used.

Picture above is a stopwatch.Since we can't stop the time,we can stop using this device for events such as marathon.
