Areas within the frontoparietal network were differentially recruited as the stages of STM unfolded in deaf signers and hearing speakers. Areas activated more in Deaf than hearing are shown in red; Hearing greater than Deaf in blue. In particular, deaf signers appear less likely than hearing speakers to call upon parietal areas associated with chunking and manipulation of information during encoding and rehearsal, but more likely to do so during recall. For illustration purposes, results are shown only in the frontoparietal network (from the conjunction analyses thresholded at P < 0.1).
