Behavioural results. (A) Performance changes of all three experimental groups (post-training M1 rTMS, dPMC rTMS, and SHAM rTMS) across blocks of task execution in terms of speed (mean duration of a correct sequence, CSD), accuracy (ratio of the number of correct sequences per block/number of maximum correct sequences per block), and the combined performance index. The grey column between the training and retest graphs represents the 8-h break interval. Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean. (B) Offline task performance changes (difference) between end-of-training (mean performance across the last 4 blocks of the training session) and beginning of the delayed retest (first block of delayed retesting). Note that differences were computed such that positive values indicate offline performance improvements (i.e., offline learning). Error bars indicate the standard error of the mean (n.s.: not significant).
