Structure Learning Training and Cognitive Flexibility

The overarching aim of the project is to assess whether structure learning is an effective tool to train and improve cognitive flexibility and whether this is transferable to learning and other cognitive skills. The investigators will employ a multi-modal approach that combine both cognitive-behavioural and neuroimaging measures to examine how functional brain activations and/or cognitive performances are affected when participants go through a structure learning training paradigm relative to a working memory training paradigm (active control) or a no-training paradigm (passive control).
