1. Implicit structured sequence learning
Abstract : A simple question: Do you know how you manage to speak your native language without making grammatical errors despite the fact that you probably do not know how to describe the grammatical rules you use? Sometimes such simple questions do not have simple answers. The amazing capacity to effectively communicate complex information and thoughts through the medium of language is the result of the way language, and more specifically, linguistic rules are learned: in an implicit manner.

2. Acquisition and manipulation of mental structures : investigations on artificial grammar learning and implicit sequence processing
Abstract : This thesis introduces repetitive artificial grammar learning as a paradigm in the investigation of sequential implicit learning, in particular as a model for language acquisition and processing. Implicit learning of sequential structure captures an essential cognitive processing capacity of interest from a larger cognitive neuroscience perspective. READ MORE

3. Procedural and Declarative Memory in Children with Developmental Disorders of Language and Literacy
Abstract : The procedural deficit hypothesis (PDH) posits that a range of language, cognitive and motor impairments associated with specific language impairment (SLI) and developmental dyslexia (DD) may be explained by an underlying domain-general dysfunction of the procedural memory system. In contrast, declarative memory is hypothesized to remain intact and to play a compensatory role in the two disorders. READ MORE

4. From movement to skill : neural and behavioral mechanisms of motor sequence learning
Abstract : How do we learn new movements? The simple answer to this question is Through practice! Yet, a better response might be What aspect of motor learning are we talking about? Our capacity for learning new skills and for combining movements into new sequences is virtually unlimited. In contrast, our understanding of the mechanisms behind motor skill learning is still rather sparse. READ MORE

5. Human aging, dopamine, and cognition : molecular and functional imaging of executive functions and implicit learning
Abstract : Age-related deficits are legion in task switching, updating of information in working memory (WM) and inhibiting irrelevant information, collectively referred to as executive functions. Executive functions are tightly coupled to the dopaminergic system, and marked dopamine (DA) losses are observed across adulthood and aging. READ MORE
