Correlates of modality‐independent semantic processing and parameter estimates. Significant areas of common deactivation for the contrast (unimodal unrelated + cross‐modal unrelated) > (unimodal related + cross‐modal related), incl. masked with (unimodal unrelated > related) and (cross‐modal unrelated > related). Areas of overlapping activation were found in bilateral fronto‐temporal and left inferior parietal regions. Plots of mean parameter estimates with 90% confidence interval for every significant deactivation showing response amplitude for every condition: picture–word nonword (PWnon), picture–word related (PWrel), picture–word unrelated (PWunrel), word–word nonword (WWnon), word–word related (WWrel) and word–word unrelated (WWunrel). Labeling of the y axis is in arbitrary units. The graphs have different scaling and scaling steps. [Color figure can be viewed in the online issue, which is available at www.interscience.wiley.com.]
