Highlights• Thickness of RLPFC positively relates to reasoning in 4–7-year olds from lower, but not higher, SES backgrounds. • The positive relationship between RLPFC thickness and reasoning was also present in a sample of 12–16-year olds from lower-SES backgrounds. • Young children with strong reasoning from lower-SES backgrounds uniquely showed positive relationships between RLPFC thickness and age. • This work suggests that the neural structure that supports reasoning varies by SES during development.
