Priming effect: statistical significance*

	V1/V2 (n = 6)	V4/V8 (n = 6)	DF (n = 6)	LO (n = 6)	pFs(n = 7)
BKO+ > BKO−	0. 8384	(0. 0582)	0. 0715	0. 0439	(0. 8057)
FRO+, BKO+ > FRO−, BKO−	(0. 2567)	(0. 3353)	0. 3571	0. 6274	(0. 5012)

^*Student's t‐test (2‐tailed, paired) probabilities in the different anatomical areas. Values smaller than 0.05 indicate that fMRI activation with priming was significantly different than fMRI activation without priming (in bold). Values without parenthesis relate to enhanced activation with priming while values in parenthesis relate to reduced activation with priming. FRO+, BKO+, “front,” “back” objects with priming; FRO−, BKO−, “front,” “back” objects without priming. DF, dorsal foci; LO, lateral occipital; pFs, posterior fusiform. A significant enhancement for “back” objects was noticed only in LO. No significant difference was noticed for objects with priming vs. objects without priming in all areas. Recognition rates were not included because all recognition measurements were gathered after the fMRI experiment (with priming).
