It is generally accepted that damage to the prefrontal cortex leads to deficits in planning, complex learning, attentional control, and memory for the spatio-temporal context of events. However, these deficits do not correspond in any straightforward manner to the varieties of thinking as typically defined by cognitive psychologists, which include deductive and inductive inference, categorization, judgment and decision making, and problem solving. We consider whether certain central representational and processing elements postulated by cognitive theories of human thinking -- symbols and variables, analogical mapping, and conditional rules -- can be linked with models of frontal functions.
