DESCRIPTION:Human learning and predictive processing depend on multiple co
 gnitive systems related to dissociable brain structures. These systems int
 eract not only in cooperative but sometimes competitive ways in optimizing
  performance. Previous studies showed that manipulations reducing the enga
 gement of prefrontal lobe-mediated explicit\, attentional processes can im
 prove non-declarative learning performance. Here\, we present four studies
  – non-invasive brain stimulation\, functional brain connectivity\, life
 span development\, local sleep\, and mind-wandering - in which we investig
 ated the competitive relationship between perceptual statistical learning 
 and prefrontal lobe-mediated executive functions. Our result sheds light o
 n the competitive nature of brain systems in cognitive processes and could
  have important implications for developing new methods to improve human l
 earning and predictive processing.
