The Brain’s Dorsal Route for Speech Represents Word Meaning: Evidence from Gesture
Figure 7
Plots for the NR-R post SGC-SGI contrast. Two clusters were found after correcting for multiple comparisons inside a mask of auditory effects (see text for details). In each one, plots indicate that repetition suppression was stronger when the word was associated with a congruent iconic gesture. On another hand, repetition enhancement was observed when the word was associated with an incongruent gesture. Full coordinates for these plots in the template space of the Montreal Neurological Institute (transformed from symmetrical template space used for normalization) are as follows. Top: x −47 y −4 z 44; middle: −51 −4 50; bottom left: −55 −4 44; bottom right: −55 −43 27. NR: Non-Repeated, R: Repeated, S: Speech (average of Si and Sc between which no difference was found), SGC: Congruent Speech and Gesture, SGI: Incongruent Speech and Gesture.
