Nine pre-defined regions of interest (ROI) to test three hypotheses: separated contrasts were performed under each subheading.

Anatomic location (BA)	Centroid coordinates (mm)			Reference
	X	Y	Z
H1: cerebellum HVI and crus I & II would be preferentially engaged for symbolically cued learning
Cerebellum (lobule HVI)	−8	−72	−20	Balsters & Ramnani 2008
Cerebellum (lobule HVI/crus I & II	39	−62	−31	Balsters & Ramnani 2008
L Medial superior frontal gyrus (pre-SMA, 6)	−2	6	62	Balsters & Ramnani 2008
L Superior frontal gyrus (pre-motor, 6)	−30	−2	66
H2: DLPFC would be specifically engaged for spatially cued learning
R Dorsal Prefrontal cortex (9)	36	39	31	Schwarb & Schumacher 2009
H3: sensorimotor cortex, SMA, putamen and inferior parietal lobule (IPL) would be activated for sequence learning across all experimental conditions
L Precentral Gyrus (M1, 4)	−30	−13	45	Seidler et al., 2005
L Medial Frontal Gyrus (SMA, 6)	−1	1	57	Grafton et al. 1995
L Putamen	−27	−15	12	Grafton et al. 1995
