During immediate recall in the MRI scanner, blind and sighted participants identified FL word meanings with high accuracy (>90%) irrespective of the learning conditions. On delayed recall, however, blind participants tended to score higher in the writing than in the no-writing condition, whereas sighted participants showed an opposite trend between the writing and no-writing conditions. The differential impact of writing was confirmed as a robust interaction between the effects of condition and group (see “Results”). In this and all subsequent figures, box plot elements are defined as follows: center line, median; box limits, upper and lower quartiles; whiskers, 1.5× interquartile range.
