    "abstract": "Successful language learning requires a dynamic balance\nbetween declarative and procedural mechanisms, yet\nindividuals may engage them in less than optimal ways. The\ngoal of the current experiment was to determine whether\ntranscranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can tip the\nbalance, specifically facilitating declarative or procedural\nlearning. Seventy-nine subjects (31 no stimulation, 16 sham\nstimulation, 16 temporal, 16 frontal) completed an artificial\ngrammar learning task followed by a two-alternative forced-\nchoice test measuring sensitivity to the underlying grammar\n(procedural) versus the surface form (declarative). The pattern\nof results is consistent with separate engagement of declarative\nand procedural systems. Left temporal stimulation resulted in\nhigher selection of strings with familiar surface features. In\ncontrast, frontal stimulation resulted in a slower learning\ntrajectory and more frequent selection of grammatical letter\nstrings. We conclude that tDCS may be used to facilitate\nengagement of different learning systems required for language\nlearning.",
