The author stands that thinking by analogy is a natural instrument human have
because of the mirror neurons in our brain. However, is it that infallible to rely

Implicit Association Bias (IAB), for instance, is a powerful intruder that affects
our understanding, actions, and decisions on the unconscious level by

The focus was on analogical reasoning and IAB tests concerning the
question of gender equality in science and everyday life and age prejudices.
