Abstract

The role of different relational reasoning skills in predicting reasoning in Mathematics and Science was investigated. Overall, relational reasoning significantly predicted mathematical and scientific reasoning after controlling for age and cognitive covariates. Among the four skills, only analogy and antitheses were found to be significantly predicting scientific and mathematical reasoning.
