Bar graphs for time-to-peak latencies in seconds (+ standard error) in perisylvian language areas for children and adults within the left and the right hemisphere. In both groups, data show fastest responses in mid STC and shorter latencies in temporal cortex than in frontal cortex in both groups. However, children show overall longer latencies than adults and their fronto-temporal latency differences are much more pronounced than the fronto-temporal differences in adults. Furthermore, children, but not adults, demonstrate hemispheric differences with slower left than right hemispheric activation (cf. Figure 1). Broca = Broca’s area, FO = frontal operculum, STC = superior temporal cortex, ant = anterior, mid = mid-portion, post = posterior.
