FIGURE 3.
(a) The first-sound matching phonological task implemented by Raschle et al.187 During the task, children heard two consecutively presented common object-words, spoken in a male or female voice, accompanied by corresponding pictures (‘bat,’ ‘ball’) and had to determine whether two words start with the same sound or different sound. In the control task the children had to determine whether two words were spoken with the same voice or different voice (female or male). (b) Brain regions that demonstrated increased activation in FHD− as compared with FHD+ pre-readers for phonological greater than voice processing.
