Direct comparison of signal changes in the right and left temporoparietal regions

The temporoparietal region of the 3‐month‐old infants (TP_3M, the left homolog)
Hemisphere (right and left)	F(1,21) = 0.59	P > 0.1
Condition (long, short, and random)	F(2,42) = 6.33	P < 0.005
Hemisphere × condition	F(2,42) = 9.66	P < 0.0005
Simple main effect of condition
Right temporoparietal region	F(2,84) = 8.90	P < 0.0005*
Left temporoparietal region	F(2,84) = 4.54	P < 0.05
The temporoparietal region of the 6‐month‐old infants (TP_6M, the left homolog)
Hemisphere (right and left)	F(1,23) = 0.94	P > 0.1
Condition (long, short, and random)	F(2,46) = 3.35	P < 0.05
Hemisphere × condition	F(2,46) = 6.11	P < 0.005
Simple main effect of condition
Right temporoparietal region	F(2,92) = 6.84	P < 0.005*
Left temporoparietal region	F(2,92) = 0.75	P > 0.1

The P values with asterisks (*) in the simple main effect satisfied the statistical threshold with the Bonferroni correction (3‐month‐old infants, four channels in the ROI; 6‐month‐old infants, five channels in the ROI).
