Explicit instructions and consolidation promote rewiring of automatic behaviors in the human mind

Abstract One major challenge in human behavior and brain sciences is to understand how we can rewire already existing perceptual, motor, cognitive, and social skills or habits. Here we aimed to characterize one aspect of rewiring, namely, how we can update our knowledge of sequential/statistical reg...
