Search volume: whole brain; software: AFNI; voxelwise p: .01; cluster extent cutoff: 1.609 cc; regarding correction for multiple comparisons, addition of monoexponential function reduces but does not eliminate inflation of p values (Cox et al., 2017) ↑ L angular gyrus

notes: positive region (L AG) was part of the semantic network, while many negative regions were positively modulated by reaction time in the aphasia group

Second level contrast = Which of the 8 relevant classes of analyses is this? Which group or groups of participants are included? If there is a covariate, what is it?; Acc = Is accuracy matched across the second level contrast?; RT = Is reaction time matched across the second level contrast?; Stats = Does the analysis involve voxelwise statistics, region(s) of interest (ROI), or something else (complex)? If voxelwise, how are multiple comparisons across voxels accounted for? If ROI, were the ROI(s) anatomical, functional, laterality indices, mixed, or something else? If there was more than one ROI, how were the ROIs corrected for multiple comparions?; Yellow underline = minor limitation; Orange underline = moderate limitation; Red underline = major limitation; CB = Cross-sectional performance-defined conditions; Y = Yes, matched; NBD = No, by design; UNR = Unknown, not reported; Vox = Voxelwise; C- = Clusterwise correction with with GRFT and lenient voxelwise p; CCS = Clusterwise correction based on 3dClustSim.
