Hierarchical models of behavior and prefrontal function. (2008, methodology): “Despite the differences among the models of PFC mentioned, it is natural, in each of them, to consider timescale as the key parameter governing the layout of cortical representations: moving rostrally over the cerebral cortex, and within the DLPFC, representations that guide behavior over progressiv”
Flexible shaping: how learning in small steps helps. (2009, neutral): “From a neural perspective, there is ample evidence for the involvement of structures in the lateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) in hierarchically structured cognitive tasks including the 12-AX task ( Koechlin & Summerfield, 2007; Reynolds, 2007), and indeed O’Reilly and Frank’s (2005) PBWM model is foc”
