Beschreibung:
<jats:p>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.</jats:p>
