Predictions for activation in posterior and anterior LvOT. Predicted repetition suppression effects in posterior and anterior LvOT for each type of model and for prime–target pairs that are within stimulus type (W-W and P-P) or between stimulus type (W-P and P-W). This results in 3 different predictions for each model in both posterior and anterior LvOT. Black-filled circles indicate predicted repetition suppression. White, unfilled circles indicate no predicted repetition suppression. As can be seen, our predictions within stimulus type are the same for all 5 models. In contrast, our predictions for between stimulus type vary with the model. Model A1 (specific to stimulus type) does not predict any repetition suppression across stimulus type while Models A2, B1, B2, and B3 predict repetition suppression across stimulus type in the anterior LvOT. In addition, Models B1, B2, and B3 predict repetition suppression across stimulus type in posterior LvOT, which is a consequence by top-down processing from higher order language areas.
