Strategy for analyzing the fMRI results comparing consistency effects, orthographic consistency (OrthCon) and phonological consistency (PhonCon), for Normal and Impaired Readers
| Contrast | Figures/tables | |
|---|---|---|
| Analysis 1: Effect of overall consistency for Normal Readers | Average of 2 model coefficients > 0 | Table 3; Fig. 2 |
| Analyses 2 and 3: Effect of each consistency type for Normal Readers | OrthCon > 0, PhonCon > 0 | Table 3 |
| Analysis 4: Effect of overall consistency for Impaired Readers | Average of 2 model coefficients > 0 | Table 3 |
| Analyses 5 and 6: Effect of each consistency type for Impaired Readers | OrthCon > 0, PhonCon > 0 | Table 3 |
| Analysis 7: Group differences in overall consistency | Normal > Impaired for average of 2 model coefficients, Normal > Impaired for OrthCon | Table 4; Fig. 2 |
| Analyses 8 and 9: Group differences for each consistency type | Normal > Impaired for PhonCon | Table 4; Fig. 2 |
| Analysis 10: Brain-behavior correlations within each group | 2nd level regression: PA(Normal) + PA(Impaired) for OrthCon and PhonCon separately | Figs. 3 and 4 |
