Abstract
Statistical learning, a fundamental brain mechanism shaping skill acquisition, habit development, and predictive processing, plays a pivotal role in optimizing cognitive performance. This presentation unveils noteworthy findings in the realm of statistical learning, emphasizing two crucial aspects. Firstly, it sheds light on the presence of ultra-fast memory consolidation processes within statistical learning. Secondly, it proposes two avenues for enhancing statistical learning—via brain stimulation and mind wandering. The objective of the presentation is to elucidate potential underlying mechanisms, underscoring the intricate interplay among diverse memory systems.
