Comparison with regions encoding compound conditional rule identity in previous MVPA studies. Results of analyses decoding rule identity from the present study (in blue) and two previous MVPA studies on rule representation (from Reverberi and colleagues 2012a, in green, and from Reverberi and colleagues 2012b, in red) are depicted. The clusters in right VLPFC encoding compound rule identity in the present study, in Reverberi and colleagues (2012a), and in Reverberi and colleagues (2012b) overlap (yellow, cyan, magenta, and white areas). Additional overlap (cyan area on the map on the right) exists between the clusters in parietal cortex from the present study and from Reverberi and colleagues (2012a).
