Ingarden's understanding of generalization, that is, the operation of abstraction by variation, is placed in the historical context of the dispute between Berkeley and Locke, and is directed at Husserl's conception. The following take part in the determination of the conditions of generalization: unilateral dependence, constitutive nature and the shape/state.

The main goal was to explore a relationship between selected cognitive processes – a verbal analytical reasoning, a nonverbal analytical reasoning, a generalisation, and a metaphor comprehension in a Slovak sample. Our hypothesis is that metaphor comprehension is closely connected to other cognitive processes, for empirical investigation we chose an analytical reasoning and a generalisation. In a process of metaphor, we seek common shared attributes and meanings between two different aspects, objects. Thus, important are processes of analytical reasoning, categorization and induction. A fact that analytical reasoning is closely connected to metaphor comprehension verifies various research f. e. Castillo (1998), Johnson, Henley (1992), De Barros et al (2010). Only a limited work and investigation has been done in Slovak psychology regarding the metaphor topic, so we aspire to contribute to progress in this area and confirm findings of research with a tool of own provenience in a Slovak sample. This research was conducted on the sample of university students of the humanities. A sample was selected to control age, the field of study and associated cognitive variables and level of education as well. The sample was gender unbalanced, which is partly a matter of disproportion of gender in this field of study. The selected cognitive processes - verbal analytical reasoning, nonverbal analytical reasoning and generalisation were measured by means of the standardised intelligence test ISA-S. Our research showed that in process of metaphor comprehension the most important is verbal analytical reasoning, more than generalisation. This research suggests an additional perspective on cognitive processes in the context of metaphor comprehension. As a limitation of research, we consider a relatively limited possibility to apply research findings on broader population and relatively small amount of explored cognitive processes.
