A Left: Participants (n = 17) rested four fingers on a key pad with keys labeled 1, 2, 3, 4. They were instructed to repeatedly type a five-digit sequence (e.g., 4-1-3-2-4) as quickly and accurately as possible. During the 30 s typing trials, the screen was green, and the sequence was displayed on top. After 30 s, the screen turned red and participants rested for 30 s. Training consisted of 12 typing trials and 11 rest breaks. Middle: Plot of mean online (blue solid line) and offline (dashed red line) gains over the 30 s of each typing and rest period across participants (x-axis), with the standard error (blue shading) of the typing speed. Right: Violin plots showing distribution of the sum of total gains, micro-online gains and micro-offline gains across 11 trials across participants. The black dots represent participants’ means, and horizontal lines represent group means. B Boxplots of micro-online and -offline gains by trial. Each circle is the gain for each of the 17 participants in a given trial. Boxes extend to the median and 25th and 75th percentiles of gains. Whisker lines extend to the maximum/minimum non-outlier values (less than 1.5 of the interquartile range from the upper or lower quartile). Horizontal lines represent trial medians. The rightmost boxplot pair represents the mean of micro-online and -offline gains across trials for each participant. Significant results from paired and one-sample two-tailed t tests are indicated with corrected p-values.
