Art Markman, a professor in the University of Texas at Austin Psychology Department, explains how analogy works powerfully in idea generation. He explains that analogy works by connecting your expertise in one area of knowledge to your expertise in an entirely different area, and in so doing come up with a new idea. Says Markman, the key to analogies is to be able to look at a probem in an abstract way, in order to make high-level connections more quickly.

Markman also writes the blog Ulterior Motives for Psychology Today online, and is the author of Smart Thinking: Three Essential Keys to Solve Problems, Innovate, and Get Things Done.
