Developmental changes for the percent signal change in each condition. Multivariate analyses were computed. PO: activation for simple sentences decreases with age: F(2,56) = 11.44, p < 0.001); IPL/pSTG: activation for complex sentences increases with age (F(2,56) = 5.15, p < 0.01); SMA: activation for simple sentences decreases with age (F(2,56) = 6.69, p < 0.01); Cerebellum: no significant age effects could be found. PO = pars opercularis; IPL = inferior parietal lobe; pSTG = posterior superior temporal gyrus; SMA = supplementary motor area; simple sentences in blue; complex sentences in red. Post hoc between-group analyses adjusted to α-level = 0.017; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001.
