Figure 6.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging correlation effects: when correlating the Hindi imitation scores with fMRI BOLD activation on a mixed ability group (N = 36), a significant negative correlation effect is obtained. Significant activations depicted here correlate negatively with the Hindi imitation score (decreasing imitation scores yield higher BOLD activation). The activated areas are largely overlapping with the activated areas found in the previous analyses (Figure 5). They are obtained in both tasks, “sentence imitation” (example upper panel) and “word imitation” (example lower panel). Statistical threshold: p < 0.05, whole-brain corrected for multiple comparisons at cluster level; cluster extent threshold: k = 64 voxels (p = 0.05).
