Finally, a correlation with familiarity differences between actively and passively learned melodies was, among other areas, found in Broca's area (BA 45, Tab. 5).
Our results lend therefore little support to the possibility that familiarity differences, speed of learning, or movement imagination made a major contribution to the increased fMRI responses that we found in the insular cortex.
There were no significant effects at the high threshold (p<0.005, k>100, Z>3.9) in the correlation analyses with ratings of tendency to movement imagination, number of learning trials, and familiarity differences between the two classes of melodies.
A correlation analysis with the individual familiarity differences between actively and passively learned melodies showed correlations in multiple frontal and parietal regions, in particular in Broca's area (BA 45).
The role of familiarity differences in previous studies of auditory-evoked human amygdala responses is less clear and could explain why amygdala-deactivation was found when subjects listened to highly familiar music in contrast to music selected by the other participants [14].
The observation was consistent with Beard's presentation of the ancient world: how the ancients relieved themselves is a recurring theme in her popular work, providing a vivid means of conveying familiarity and difference.
There was an increase in comfort with QI tools including run and control charts and in familiarity with differences between QI and traditional clinical research after completion of the QI curriculum.
This result confirmed that the learning conditions did not differ in familiarity; therefore, any differences between the learning conditions could not be attributed to simply differences in familiarity.
There is something fascinating in the comfort we take from the familiarity of irreconcilable differences.
If the feeding differences are caused by developmental differences, not familiarity discrimination, an exposure to particular bacteria during adulthood is not expected to cause an increased feeding response to the bacteria.
