Fig. 4 — Hemispheric asymmetry in coverage emerges in face and word regions. a–d For each region, visual field coverage (VFC) was calculated using the average maximum pRF density coverage for each participant and then averaged across participants. The number of participants used to produce the VFC is indicated in the upper left of each panel. Innermost to outermost rings correspond to 2.4, 4.7, and 7 degrees of visual angle (dva), respectively. Arrows illustrates development from childhood to adulthood. a VFC of left pOTS-face. b VFC of right pOTS-chars. c VFC of left pFus-faces. d VFC of right pFus-faces. e Center-of-mass (CoM) distance of the VFC from fixation illustrated for left and right pOTS-chars and pFus-faces across children and adults. A CoM distance of 2 indicates that the VFC is 2 degrees of visual angle from fixation. Error bars: jackknife standard errors. f Left: VFC of bilateral pFus-faces and pOTS-chars in children and adults; white: indicating the median; box: 25th and 75th percentiles; whiskers: range. Right: overlay of the VFC of bilateral pFus-faces in adults (top) and children (bottom) on a face about 1 m from the observer (corresponding to ~6.5 dva). Dashed white contour: 50% density contour of the VFC. This contour covers more of the average-sized face in typical viewing distance in adults than children
