a statistical trendp = 0.06
In order to assess if TMS affected response accuracy we performed an ANOVA that revealed a main effect of TMS site, F (1,23) = 4.15, p = 0.05, ηp 2 = 0.15, indicating that participants’ accuracy was lower during cerebellar TMS compared with vertex stimulation, and a statistical trend towards a main effect of relatedness, F (1,23) = 3.63, p = 0.06, ηp 2 = 0.13, showing that participants’ accuracy was lower for related word-pairs compared with unrelated word-pairs; critically, the interaction TMS site by relatedness was significant, F (1,23) = 5.26, p = 0.03, ηp 2 = 0.18.
