Ask Me Anything: Dynamic Memory Networks for Natural Language Processing (2015, background): “Interestingly, it also appears that the hippocampus is active during transitive inference [30], and disruption of the hippocampus impairs this ability [31].”
The Episodic Memory System: Neurocircuitry and Disorders (2009, unknown): “Functional neuroimaging evidence also supports the specific role of the hippocampal formation in transitive inference in humans (Heckers et al, 2004).”
The hippocampus and inferential reasoning: building memories to navigate future decisions (2012, methodology): “Several human neuroimaging studies have provided evidence that the hippocampus plays an important role in successful inference at the time of retrieval (Heckers et al., 2004; Preston et al., 2004; Zalesak and Heckers, 2009).”
When logic fails: Implicit transitive inference in humans (2005, background): “Nevertheless, a more recent study showed hippocampal activation during explicit transitive judgments ( Heckers, Zalesak, Weiss, Ditman, & Titone, 2004 ).”
Integrating Memories in the Human Brain: Hippocampal–Midbrain Encoding of Overlapping Events (2008, methodology): “Indeed , generalization is often thought to depend on transitive or associative inference (Greene et al., 2006; Heckers et al., 2004; Preston et al., 2004).”
Entorhinal Cortex Lesions Disrupt the Relational Organization of Memory in Monkeys (2004, background): “Of particular note, two investigations found that the hippocampus is selectively activated during transitive inference judgments of the sort that the present results indicate require the integrity of the hippocampal system (Heckers et al., 2004; Preston et al., 2004).”
Item, context and relational episodic encoding in humans. (2006, background): “Furthermore, there is a wealth of findings, not reviewed here, demonstrating hippocampal activation during episodic retrieval that differentially correlates with relational memory [10 ,21,43,44,45 ,46–50] (interestingly, evidence for differential perirhinal and hippocampal retrieval mechanisms is no”

Hippocampal Contributions to Model-Based Planning and Spatial Memory (2019, unknown): “Tests of relational encoding have even relied on tasks that are similar in logic to probes for model-based planning, like transitive inference or acquired equivalence (Dusek and Eichenbaum, 1997; Heckers et al., 2004; Shohamy and Wagner, 2008; Wimmer and Shohamy, 2012).”

Flexible Memories: Differential Roles for Medial Temporal Lobe and Prefrontal Cortex in Cross-Episode Binding (2010, background): “Neuroimaging studies have observed increased MTL (Heckers et al., 2004; Preston et al., 2004) and PFC activation (Acuna et al., 2002) during inferential retrieval relative to retrieval of directly experienced events, suggesting an important role for these regions in the flexible expression of…”
The medial temporal lobe and memory (2007, unknown): “Neuroimaging measures of MTL activation during the critical transitive inference (or mediated retrieval) trials have demonstrated activation in anterior hippocampus uniquely associated with transitive judgments relative to control conditions (Heckers et al., 2004; Preston et al., 2004), complementin”
