There are two primary research approaches in cognitive science : the experimental approach and the model based approach. In this project, we expanded the model-based approach and tried to open a new era of the approach in Japanese cognitive science community. First, we tried to make theoretical discussion about the nature of the model-based approach from the cognitive scientific, computational scientific, and philosophical viewpoints. We also developed a web-based production system, and a learning support system where a cognitive model of analogy was implemented. We used those systems in a real class setting, and evaluated the utility of the systems.
