The variables r and p denote the Pearson correlation coefficient and associated p-value, respectively. The 90% confidence interval for r is reported below each correlation. Here a * denotes that the observed correlation is significant under FDR correction for multiple comparisons across tasks (for p < 0.05) and a • denotes a significant correlation across the two scales of the brain parcellation studied in this paper (S3 Table). VG = verb generation, SC = sentence completion, and NR = number reading.
