Resumen:
Abstract Against what laboratory studies show, it has been suggested that retrieving distant analogs might be easy in real-life, where we tend to encode situations with expert-like schemas. In two experiments, we first determined the availability of an autobiographical episode corresponding to a schema-governed category (Experiment 1) or to a system of schema-governed categories (Experiment 2). In another context, participants had to report an autobiographical episode that they considered analogous to the situation presented by the experimenter. The situation was another instance of the same category or system of categories of the availability test. While in one condition the situation pertained to the same domain of the autobiographical episode reported in the first phase, in the other condition it did not. In accordance with traditional studies, we found that distant retrieval is very difficult in real-life and much more difficult than near retrieval, even in extremely favorable conditions of encoding
