Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether levodopa pergolid rivastigmine or modafinil are effective in boosting semantic language acquisition in healthy subjects
Detailed Description: Our prior work shows that d-amphetamine and the dopamine precursor levodopa markedly improve word learning success in healthy subjects In this randomized placebo-controlled double-blind clinical trial we probe whether a mixed d1d2 dopamine agonist pergolid or cholinergic neuromodulation rivastigmine or a general centrally arousing substance modafinil will yield a learning enhancement comparable to using levodopa in healthy subjects

Our results show that the dopamine agonist pergolide impaired learning in healthy subjects compared to placebo whereas cholinergic neuromodulation had no effect
