Relational complexity, the central executive, and prefrontal cortex
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 21 (6):846-847 (1998)
| Abstract | Halford et al.'s analysis of relational complexity provides a possible framework for characterizing the symbolic functions of the prefrontal cortex. Studies of prefrontal patients have revealed that their performance is selectively impaired on tasks that require integration of two binary relations (i.e., tasks that Halford et al.'s analysis would identify as three-dimensional). Analyses of relational complexity show promise of helping to understand the neural substrate of thinking. | |||||||||
