how far the source domain of an analogy lies from the design problem, which shapes whether analogies serve problem identification, solution generation or explanation.

In design research, analogical distance refers to how far the source domain of an analogy lies from the design problem, which shapes whether analogies serve problem identification, solution generation or explanation. This meaning comes from Christensen (2007) in Memory & Cognition.[1]
