BA, Brodmann's Area; L and R, left and right hemispheres; t, t-score at those coordinates (peak value); k, cluster size (in voxels). Regions with ks that share a superscript originate from the same cluster. Activations in bold are only significant in the model including difficulty as a covariate of no interest; activations in italics are only significant without including difficulty as a covariate of no interest.
p < 0.01;
p < 0.001 (FWE-corrected).
