Figure 3.
Results of the contrast between handling verb generation and baseline task in the deaf participants (row A) and pantomime production (for the same ‘handling verb’ stimuli) and baseline task in hearing non-signers (row B). Row C shows the results for the between subjects contrast (deaf – hearing non-signers) for the same task comparisons. The color overlay reflects significant increased activity at an uncorrected level, and regions in red reflect increased activity at a RFT corrected level (p < 0.05). Increased activity in the inferior frontal gyrus is observed in the deaf signers but not the hearing participants.
