Brain regions showing greater activations for pseudowords relative to words in English speakers with (A) and without (B) Chinese experience. Compared with reading words, reading pseudowords elicited greater activations in the bilateral occipitotemporal cortex for both groups of English speakers and in the left inferior frontal gyrus only for English speakers with Chinese experience. The left inferior frontal gyrus also showed greater activation for pseudowords relative to words in native English speakers without Chinese experience when a relatively liberal threshold (Z > 2.3, uncorrected) was used. No regions showed greater activations for words. In addition, the neural activations in the contrast of pseudowords minus words did not significantly differ across the two groups of English speakers. All activations were thresholded at z > 2.3 (whole-brain corrected). R = right.
