Title
The role of superior image composition in children's analogical reasoning
Abstract
Analogical reasoning, as a higher cognitive ability, can help children make inferences about a novel situation. It is vital to help children's analogical reasoning development. However, the traditional intervention methods are simple and the effects cannot maintain. Aiming at this problem, the present study was the first to use computer technology especially image composition technique to promote children's analogical reasoning from an interdisciplinary perspective. Specifically, one minimum region entropy based composition model was proposed. On the one hand, sparse coding model and spatial pyramid matching model were used for searching semantically matching images. On the other hand, minimum region entropy model could contribute to composite the candidate region into an ideal position. Furthermore, we set up a database using massive images and adequate experiments based on it to verify the model's effectiveness and robustness. What's more important, we applied the improved image composition to analogical reasoning task. The results showed that the performance of intervention group was obviously better than control group during intervention stages and posttest stage. In general, the present study not only demonstrated the advantages of the improved image composition but also revealed composition's remarkable contribution for getting analogical relationship by children.
