Neither. It's a limbic system issue.

I was actually talking about this with my spouse the other day, in reference to a close family member of mine. It's not that this person can't do logic, i.e. A -> B -> C -> D. It's that there is an emotional response between B and C that prevents further reasoning, making it impossible to get from A to D.
