Figure 4. First-person perspective motion processing develops in OPA from 5 to 8 years old.

Figure 4.

Scene motion, object motion, and face motion difference scores were calculated by subtracting responses to the Static stimuli from responses to the Dynamic stimuli separately for each condition. OPA responded strongly to Scene Motion in the 8-year-olds (p = 0.003), but not the 5-year-olds (p = 0.52). This increase in scene motion processing from 5 to 8 years was greater than that for either object or face motion processing (both p’s < 0.05), indicating that this developmental effect was specific to motion through scenes. Further, no developmental changes were found in a motion selective region (MT) (p = 0.64; Table S1), or in other scene-selective regions (PPA or RSC) (both p’s > 0.68; Table S2). These findings suggest that navigationally-relevant motion processing is still developing in OPA across childhood. Error bars depict the standard error of the mean. See also Figures S1 and S2.
