analogy
Analogy (English: from ancient Greek: ἀναλογία, analogia, meaning equal proportion), or analogy, is a cognitive process, a particular thing attached to the message transferred to other specific things above. Analogy by comparing two things, clearly revealing the similarity between the two, and the characteristics of known things, to the unknown things, but the two do not necessarily have substantial homology, the analogy is not necessarily "reasonable". In memory, communication and problem solving and other processes play an important role in different disciplines also have their own definition. For example, the nuclei in the atom and the orbit formed by electrons can be analogous to the planets that surround the sun in the solar system. In addition, rhetoric in the metaphor method is sometimes an analogy, for example, the moon compared to silver coins. The same or similar anatomical structures in the biology, such as mammals, reptiles, and birds, are also similar concepts. ...
