The topic of this article is on deductive reasoning in the brain. Two different cognitive theories of deduction were explored and clinical evidence that opposed the mental model theory was presented. The critical reading questions focused on topics like how different kinds of brain scans work, the difference between content dependent and content independent theories of reasoning, the types of different problem-solving tasks used in reasoning research and brain hemispheres associated with reasoning, and their similarities and differences. The classroom discussion featured topics such as illusions, intensity matching, affect heuristics, and substitution questions. | The topic of this article is on deductive reasoning in the brain.

In a comparison study of PET and fMRI activation patterns during declarative memory processes, PET scans were picked up frontopolar activations that fMRI did not, due to susceptibility artifacts. However, the fMRI scan showed parahippocampal activation and cerebellar activation that the PET scan did not encode. This is most likely because of the whole brain coverage scan that the fMRI can encode. Both scans had a 93% mean recall accuracy so in conclusion, the difference between PET and fMRI scans depends on study design (single subject vs. group study) and the task of interest.

Overall, it would seem that the original articles conclusions still remain accurate, and that both hemispheres work together, and the right hemisphere is more specifically association with content-based reasoning, although current studies look more specifically at certain brain regions instead of just the two hemispheres.

Overall, the three studies illustrated that deductive reasoning is associated with frontoparietal regions of the brain, which confirms previous studies mentioned in the answer to the previous question. The second main finding was that core regions commonly associated with deductive inference “cannot be interpreted as merely responding to general (i.e., non-deductive) cognitive load and/or increased working memory demands (Coetzee, 2018). | Overall, the three studies illustrated that deductive reasoning is associated with frontoparietal regions of the brain, which confirms previous studies mentioned in the answer to the previous question.
