Neural responses to number words and object words, for size and category judgments in non-symbolic number task ROIs. The left and right IPS showed greater neural responses to number words than object words, independently of judgment type (Size or Category Judgment) in children and adults. The right IFG also showed a number-selective neural response in adults and children. The ACC showed a general preference for size judgments across number and object stimuli as well as an overall preference for number stimuli over object stimuli in children. No other pattern emerged for stimulus type or judgment type in the remaining regions. Children tended to show greater frontal number-related activation and reduced IPS number-related activation compared to adults.
