Figure 3. Scene selectivity is present in all three scene-selective regions by age 5.

Figure 3.

Responses are shown for static stimuli only, following standard contrasts used to measure scene selectivity in adults. For 5-year-olds and 8-year-olds, OPA, PPA, and RSC each responded significantly more to scenes than both objects and faces (all p’s < 0.001). No region showed a significant age group (5-year-olds, 8-year-olds) x condition (scenes, objects, faces) interaction (all p’s > 0.23), suggesting that scene selectivity does not develop across this age range. Finally, V1 responded similarly across the three conditions (p = 0.30), ruling out the possibility that the scene-selective responses in OPA, PPA, and RSC were driven by stimulus complexity or low-level visual features. Error bars depict the standard error of the mean.
