Values of t Statistics for the Region-of-Interest Analyses of the Auditory Size-Judgment Task

Region of interest	Tools > animals			Tools > nonmanipulable objects
Region of interest	Sighted participants	Late-blind participants	Congenitally blind participants	Sighted participants	Late-blind participants	Congenitally blind participants
Left inferior parietal lobule	4.6^****	6.5^****	6.0^****	3.3^***	5.0^****	3.4^***
Left anterior intraparietal sulcus	2.7^**	5.7^****	4.1^***	3.9^***	5.6^****	2.0^*
Left posterior superior parietal lobule	3.6^***	4.1^***	2.0^*	5.8^****	2.2^*	−0.5

Note: The region-of-interest analyses contrasted blood-oxygen-level-dependent responses for tool stimuli versus the other stimuli (animals and nonmanipulable objects) for each participant group and region of interest. Degrees of freedom on the t statistics were as follows: sighted participants: 4,907; late-blind participants: 2,808; congenitally blind participants: 3,261.
