Signal Increases During Language Conditions in TD Children

TD Anatomical Location BA X y z t
↑U+S
L Supramarginal gyrus 40 −52 −44 30 4.34
L Inferior parietal lobule 40 −54 −50 38 3.72

Significant signal increases as a function of language exposure in parietal and temporal cortices and striatum in typically developing (TD) children during the stressed (S) and unstressed (U) language conditions. There were no significant signal increases during the random syllables condition. Results corrected for multiple comparisons at voxel: t > 2.54, p < .01, cluster: k > 63, p < .05. Reported peaks are t > 3.33. BA refers to putative Brodmann's area; L and R refer to left and right hemispheres, respectively; x, y, and z refer to the left-right, anterior-posterior, and inferior-superior dimensions, respectively; t refers to the t score at those coordinates (local maxima or submaxima). Reported peaks are t > 3.33, results cluster corrected for multiple comparisons at t > 2.57 and p < .05.
