Abstract

Structural Mapping Theory (SMT) uses multiple comparisons for creating a map of structural similarities between different structures of knowledge, with low (perceptual) and high (conceptual) levels to enable efficient learning and reasoning processes. In terms of SMT, individuals with ASD often find it difficult to deal with tasks that require the creation of structural similarity based on deep internal connections.
