Abstract: Abstract task representations enable generalization, including inferring new behaviors based on prior knowledge without additional training. However, evidence for a neural representation that meets this benchmark is surprisingly limited. Here, using functional MRI (fMRI), we observed that abstract task structure was represented within frontoparietal networks during generalization. These results reveal the neural systems supporting a vital feature of human cognition: the abstraction of task knowledge to infer novel behaviors. Copy rights belong to original authors.
