Peaks of activation where 10-year-old children displayed significant correlations between signal increases over time as a function of exposure to the unstressed and stressed languages and second language proficiency

	Increases in artificial languages (U↑ + S↑)

Anatomical regions	BA		x	y	z	t	k
Superior temporal gyrus	22	L	−60	−36	14	3.44	303
	22	R	46	−32	4	5.04	247

Note: Activity thresholded at t > 3.17 (p < .001), corrected for multiple comparisons at the cluster level (p < .05). BA refers to putative Brodmann Area; L and R refer to left and right hemispheres; x, y, and z refer to the Talairach coordinates corresponding to the left-right, anterior-posterior, and inferior-superior axes, respectively; t refers to the highest t score within a region; k refers to cluster size (note that different regions with the same cluster size are part of the same cluster).
