A Left hemisphere ROIs. The left pMTG overall showed significant correlation with the motor and semantic RDMs (p = 0.050 for both, shaded in gray). On the other hand, the left IFG showed significant condition × group interaction (p = 0.030, shaded in gray) for the syllabic RDM. In the left SMG, there was a weak trend of writing with the syllabic RDM (p = 0.115). No other ROI showed significant main effects or their interactions with any of the three RDMs (p > 0.2 for all). For each ROI, box plots of Z-transformed Spearman correlation were calculated at the voxels showing the maximum effect for each RDM. B Searchlight RSA. Significant condition × group interaction for the syllabic RDM was found in the left IFG (−52, 26, 10, Z = 4.11) and the left hippocampus that extended from the anterior to middle segments (−24, −14, −24, Z = 3.99 and −28, −24, −16, Z = 3.67, respectively).
