Figure 4.

A, Across-trial mean β-parameters for face and scene trials in the scene-selective ROIs, including the mean β-parameters collapsed across the scene ROIs. The figure illustrates that age-related neural dedifferentiation in these regions was driven by both broadened responses to faces and attenuated responses to scenes in the older group. B, Across-trial mean β-parameters for face and scene trials in the face-selective ROIs, including the mean β-parameters across the face ROIs. The error bars around the group means denote ±1 SEM. The p values represent the t tests comparing younger and older adults in each ROI with an asterisk denoting a statistically significant age difference. Unlike in the scene ROIs, parameter estimates were consistently greater for the young relative to the older group.
