Supplementary Table 3. Experiment 2: Pearson correlation coefficients of temporal
variability (RMT_V). On the left side correlations of target-directed movements of the same
goals set with target-directed and effect-directed movements of the different goals set can be
seen. On the right side correlations of effect-directed movements of the same goals set with
target-directed and effect-directed movements of the different goals set are depicted. Values
are shown separately for each tempo (750 ms, 1000 ms, and 1250 ms).
