• Declarative Memory, Awareness, and Transitive Inference (2005, background): “Our results are consistent with previous findings that aware participants performed better than unaware participants on measures of transitive inference (Martin and Alsop, 2004; Frank et al., 2005).”
• The hippocampus and inferential reasoning: building memories to navigate future decisions (2012, background): “The symbolic distance effect is often (Frank et al., 2005; Zalesak and Heckers, 2009), although not universally (Moses et al.”
• An investigation of learning strategy supporting transitive inference performance in humans compared to other species. (2006, result): “These results are contrary to the predictions of higher accuracy on the B–E versus B–D pair from the associative learning model presented in Frank et al. (2003). Further, these results do not quite conform to predictions of the model presented in Siemann and Delius (1996) for the middle pairs, which”
