Neural correlates of relational reasoning and the symbolic distance effect: involvement of parietal cortex

Abstract A novel, five-term relational reasoning paradigm was employed during functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate neural correlates of the symbolic distance effect (SDE). Prior to scanning, participants learned a series of more-than (E>D>C>B>A) or less-than (A
