进行类比的能力需要建立更高阶的关系，从而跟踪所比较概念的多个独立变化的维度。正如斯皮德的评论所表明的那样，额叶皮层可能非常适合支持这种类型的功能。然而，斯皮德进一步指出，PFC 神经元必然支持关系概念的存储和获取。这一主张是在语义知识的存储和获取的更广泛视角的背景下进行评估的。
The ability to make analogies requires building higher order relations and so keeping track of multiple independently varying dimensions of the concepts being compared. Frontal cortex may be well suited to support this type of function, as Speed’s review makes clear. However, Speed goes further in arguing that PFC neurons necessarily support the storage and acquisition of relational concepts. This claim is evaluated in the context of broader perspectives on storage and acquisition of semantic knowledge.
