Abstract
⺠Transitive inference reasoning involves the examination of relational pairs (e.g. A>B; B>C; C>D). ⺠The parietal cortex (PLC) is important for resolving transitive inferences. ⺠Other studies implicate frontal cortex (BA 10) for resolving transitive inferences. ⺠This patient study implicates the PLC rather than BA 10 for this task. ⺠This result is not fully explained by working memory deficits in PLC patients.
