Savic, Branislav; Müri, René; Meier, Beat (23 June 2016). Modulating implicit task sequence learning and consolidation with prefrontal cortex transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) (Unpublished). In: 5th Implicit Learning Seminar (ILS-5). Lancaster University, UK. 23.06.-25.06.2016.
The purpose of this study was to influence implicit task sequence learning with transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). Previous results showed that patients with dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) lesions do not show implicit task sequence learning. Therefore, tDCS above the DLPFC was combined with a task sequence learning paradigm (TSL). To test the impact of tDCS on consolidation, learning was assessed again after 24 hours. In Experiment 1, tDCS was applied before the start of the TSL. In Experiment 2, it was applied during the TSL. The results of both experiments showed that sequence learning and consolidation were present but not modulated by tDCS. In conclusion, a single session of DLPFC tDCS does not seem to significantly modulate implicit task sequence learning.
