Note. AoA, proficiency and exposure were added in the model as predictors. When none of the three predictors had a statistically significant contribution, we reported each predictor’s p value in the model. When any of the three predictors was a significant predictor, we reported the t, b, p values and variance explained by this predictor (p < 0.05*, p < 0.01**). R = right; IFGor = inferior frontal gyrus pars orbitalsi; AG = angular gyrus; SPL = Superior parietal lobule.
