DESCRIPTION:Human learning depends on multiple cognitive systems related t
 o dissociable brain structures. These systems interact not only in coopera
 tive but sometimes competitive ways in optimizing performance. Previous st
 udies showed that manipulations reducing the engagement of frontal lobe-me
 diated explicit\, attentional processes can lead to improved performance i
 n striatum-related procedural learning. Here we present four studies in wh
 ich we investigated the competitive relationship between statistical learn
 ing and frontal lobe-mediated executive functions.  Our result shed light 
 not only on the competitive nature of brain systems in cognitive processes
 \, but also could have important implications for developing new methods t
 o improve human learning.
