A left-to-right, medial-to-lateral analysis of the inferior temporal and fusiform gyri for face, letter, and number effects. While keeping the y- and z-coordinates constant (−48 and −16, respectively), we averaged over consecutive ROIs along the x-axis. This analysis revealed (a) a left-to-right, medial-to-lateral dissociation between letters (at left lateral points) and faces (at right medial points) for children and adults, and (b) divergent responses to numbers between adults and children wherein adults showed a greater response to letters than numbers at left lateral points but children evoked equivalent responses to letters and numbers at these loci.
