In Kiefer et al.'s (2007) research investigating the role of learning in concept development, participants were shown novel objects, and some participants were asked to pantomime interacting with the objects. When the objects were shown again, pantomimed interacting with the objects showed ________.
A) greater activation in the frontotemporal lobe and occipital parietal visual-motor regions than controls
B) a smaller activation in the frontotemporal lobe and occipital parietal visual-motor regions than controls
C) greater activation in the parietal regions than controls
D) a smaller activation in the parietal regions than controls
