Les enfants à haut potentiel intellectuel peuvent souffrir d’anxiété ou de dépression, mais ce n’est pas la règle générale. C’est ce qui ressort d’un travail de recherche dans lequel a été passé en revue un corpus d’études sur ce sujet. Pour leur santé mentale et leur bien-être émotionnel, ils doivent bénéficier d’un environnement éducatif et socia...

The aim of this review is to synthesize the results of multiple studies that measured teachers’ attitudes towards gifted students and their education. A total of 1,356 references, 28 of which met our selection criteria, were identified through a literature search. The results suggest that teachers generally have a positive attitude toward the needs...

Introduction There are no published data on the written language skills of gifted children (GC). The objective of the present study was to evaluate reading abilities of GC vs. normative data from typically developing French children (TDC). Like English, French is considered to be an opaque language. Method GC completed the Wechsler Intelligence Sc...

Background Intellectual development disorder (IDD) is a challenging disorder that professionals, most notably teachers, are confronted with daily. Supporting oral language in the classroom is a complex challenge as teachers are expected to implement effective methods to support students’ language. However, they face a persistent scarcity of scienti...

This article reviews the experimental research on the level of anxiety or depression in gifted individuals. Twenty-seven studies compared gifted and typically developing individuals for the anxiety level and 15 studies for the depression level comparison. This current meta-analysis was performed on the anxiety and depression levels distinctly. We f...

L’intervention précoce dans le trouble du spectre de l’autisme (TSA) est fortement recommandée. Cependant, en France, l’âge de dépistage du TSA est souvent tardif, en cause, la complexité de ce trouble et le nombre de professionnels formés. Les recherches sur particularités visuelles des personnes TSA, lors de la présentation de stimuli sociaux, su...

Preterm birth accounts for nearly 15 million births annually worldwide and constitutes a considerable risk factor for atypical development. This birth context is a source of stress for the parents and often leads to an early separation between their child and them. Research on the influence of the birth status on the infant’s attachment style has s...

The aim of our study was to characterize the face recognition skills, theory of mind skills, and language skills of a single group of French participants with Williams syndrome (WS) compared to a group of participants with Down syndrome (DS). Twelve French-speaking participants with WS and 12 French-speaking participants with DS took part in this s...

Dans la littérature, le haut potentiel intellectuel (HPI) majoritairement définit par un quotient intellectuel élevé à un test d’intelligence standardis ́e comme les échelles de Wechsler (Winner, 2000). De nombreux auteurs considérent un individu à HPI comme ayant des capacités intellectuelles supérieures ou ́egales au 90e centile de sa classe d’âg...

Les enfants et adolescents à haut potentiel intellectuel (HPI) sont identifiés par un quotient intellectuel total (QIT) supérieur de deux écarts types à la moyenne lors d'un test d'intelligence standardisé. Cette population est caractérisée par des aptitudes élevées dans divers domaines cognitifs tels que le raisonnement, le langage, la mémoire et...

This study aimed at providing evidence that prior knowledge (semantic relatedness) and its organization (scripted versus not related) prompted either through pictures alone, pictures and associated words, words only have different impacts on several components of text produced by fourth graders. The results showed that the semantic relatedness affe...

Le projet s’intéresse à la mise en place du plan de continuité pédagogique pour les élèves en situation de Handicap (SH) dans l’Académie d’Amiens (région Hauts de France). Il repose sur la collaboration entre des enseignants-chercheurs de psychologie, le centre d’Adaptation Scolaire des élèves en situation de Handicap (ASH) de l’Institut National S...

Intellectually gifted children have higher performance in many domains of attention than intellectually average children. However, these empirical findings are not consistent in the literature. Few studies investigated the characteristics of alerting, orienting, and executive control networks in intellectually gifted children. The aim of our study...

Intellectually gifted children tend to demonstrate especially high working memory capacity, an ability that holds a critical role in intellectual functioning. What could explain the differences in working memory performance between intellectually gifted and nongifted children? We investigated this issue by measuring working memory capacity with com...

Improvisational theater (improv) is a booming theatrical practice, applying in many fields (teaching, medicine or entrepreneurship). Its effects on cognitive and behavioral processes are beginning to be demonstrated, despite scientific publications that are still rare and particularly about language. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of impr...

Dans la littérature, le haut potentiel intellectuel est majoritairement défini par un Quotient Intellectuel Total (QIT) supérieur à 2 écarts-types à un test d’intelligence standardisé comme les échelles de Wechsler (Carman, 2013). Les enfants à haut potentiel intellectuel (EHPI) présentent un profil cognitif dit hétérogène aux échelles de Wechsler...

Eye-tracking studies have revealed a specific visual exploration style characterizing individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of stimulus type (static vs. dynamic) on visual exploration in children with ASD. Twenty-eight children with ASD, 28 children matched for developmental communicatio...

Improvisational theater (improv) is supposed to have an impact on cognitive processes (divergent thinking, flexibility, language, memory, problem solving, and co-construction), academic performance, and everyday life in many ways. However, little research studied on the psychological impact of improv, with some results highlighting a divergent thin...

Intellectually gifted children (IGC) have high performance in many domains of the attention than intellectually average children (IAC). However, few studies investigated the development of the alerting, orienting and executive control networks, in IGC. The aim of our study is to analyze the development of these networks in IGC compared to typical d...

Les objectifs de cet article sont d’apporter une réflexion sur la manière d’estimer la capacité de la mémoire de travail (MDT), et d’étudier son développement de 8 à 23 ans à partir d'une unique épreuve adaptative et multimodale. La MDT, définie comme le stockage et la manipulation simultanés de l'information, est essentielle pour les apprentissage...

Intellectually gifted children tend to demonstrate especially high working memory capacity, an ability that holds a critical role in intellectual functioning. What could explain the differences in working memory performance between intellectually gifted and non-gifted children? We investigated this issue by measuring working memory capacity with co...

Working memory tasks designed for children usually present trials in order of ascending difficulty, with testing discontinued when the child fails a particular level. Unfortunately, this procedure comes with a number of issues, such as limited psychometric qualities for working memory scores, decreased engagement from high-ability children, and lar...

Intellectual giftedness is usually defined in terms of having a very high Intellectual Quotient (IQ). The intellectual capacity is assessed by a standardized test such as the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC). However, the identification of intellectually gifted children (IGC) often remains time-consuming. A short-form WISC can be use...

Previous research indicates that Improvisation Theater (improv) improves adults’ creativity, in particular divergent thinking. Here, we evaluated creativity before and after a 12-week improv class in a group of 20 teenagers (10-12 years old) and in a sports control group during the same period. We evaluated divergent thinking using the Alternative...

La mémoire de travail correspond à la capacité à manipuler et à mémoriser brièvement des informations au cours d’une activité cognitive (Just & Carpenter, 1992). La littérature montre le rôle crucial de la mémoire de travail dans le fonctionnement intellectuel (Kane et al., 2005) et la réussite scolaire (Gathercole et al., 2003). La capacité de la...

L’improvisation théâtrale (impro) est une pratique artistique mais également sportive dans certains pays (on parle de TheatreSport outre-Atlantique). Son image est souvent réductrice en France, malgré une exposition médiatique plus importante ces dernières années, notamment avec le documentaire Liberté, Égalité, Improvisez, qui a permis de voir l’i...

There is no consensus on how the enactment effect (EE), although it is robust, enhances memory. Researchers are currently investigating the cognitive processes underlying this effect, mostly during adulthood; the link between EE and crucial function identified in adulthood such as episodic memory and binding process remains elusive. Therefore, this...

L’objectif de cette étude est de déterminer, d’une part, si la maîtrise de différentes constructions syntaxiques acquises tardivement peut être améliorée en les amorçant au préalable et, d’autre part, les facteurs cognitif et linguistique susceptibles d’expliquer les variations inter-individuelles. Dans cette perspective, une épreuve d’amorçage syn...

D’importantes difficultés morphosyntaxiques sont constatées à la fois chez les enfants atteints de troubles spécifiques du langage oral (TSL) et chez les enfants sourds atteints d’une déficience auditive sévère à profonde. La comparaison de ces deux pathologies devrait ainsi nous permettre de mieux comprendre les causes du déficit morphosyntaxique....

In the many french Academy, the B53 and BV9 tests are used as part of the school counseling in 9th grade. They would estimate respectively the abilities of fluid reasoning (Gf) and comprehension-knowledge (Gc). The objective of this study is to understand the overall cognitive functioning of the student in relation to his academic performance. Our...

Les enfants sourds profonds oralistes présentent, le plus souvent, un déficit langagier malgré l’aide apportée par les appareillages ou les implants cochléaires. Cependant, d’importantes différences inter-individuelles sont observées, sans que les raisons de ces variations ne soient clairement établies. Nous défendons, dans cet article, l’idée selo...

La précocité intellectuelle se définit habituellement par un Quotient Intellectuel Total (QIT) supérieur ou égal à 125 à un test standardisé comme le Wechsler Intelligence Scales for Children (WISC-IV). Ce type d’évaluation est influencé par des facteurs environnementaux. Par conséquent, le QIT perd de sa fiabilité dans l’identification des enfants...

Children with severe-to-profound hearing loss generally exhibit a linguistic deficit in spite of hearing aids or cochlear implants. However, substantial interindividual differences are often reported, without the reasons of these variations are clearly established. Deficits in verbal working memory capacity have often been reported in deaf children...

L’effet de réalisation de l’action dans le développement normal

Even when they have good language skills, many children with hearing loss lag several years behind hearing children in the ability to grasp beliefs of others. The researchers sought to determine whether this lag results from difficulty with the verbal demands of tasks or from conceptual delays. The researchers related children's performance on a no...

The aim of this research is to show the impact of linguistic (the feminine inflexion was audible or not) and cognitive (the complexity of the task in which the agreement is realized) factors about the acquisition and the use of adjectival gender inflexions in written French. In this perspective, we compared the production of the mark of the agreeme...

The aim of this paper is to present a review of psycholinguists studies designed to examine the impact of transcription skills in written text compositions and to compare psycholinguistic and linguistic results about the issue of number agreement, with some didactical implications. In psycholinguistics, the issue of the impact of handwriting and sp...

It is recognized that individuals with Down's syndrome have a specific deficit in verbal short-term memory. On the other hand, non-verbal short-term memory seems to be preserved or even be a strong point for these persons. Nevertheless, the extent and specificity of the deficit must be determined. To do so, we carried out a research programme that...

After having provided a brief reminder of the principle of the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) contrast effect, the physiological bases of brain activity and the concepts of functional integration and effective connectivity, we describe the most recent approaches, which permit to explore brain activity and putative networks of interconnected ac...

This fMRI study investigated phonological and lexicosemantic processing in dyslexic and in chronological age- and reading level-matched children in a pseudoword reading task. The effective connectivity network was compared between the three groups using a structural model including the supramarginal cortex (BA 40; BA: Brodmann area), fusiform corte...

From visual coding to verbal coding : The role of learning to read The present experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that learning to read leads children aged 6-7 years to use preferably verbal coding to memorize verbal material presented visually (pictures), while before they used visual coding. In order to test this hypothesis, two ex...

The present experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that learning to read leads children aged 6-7 years to use preferably verbal coding to memorize verbal material presented visually (pictures), while before they used visual coding. In order to test this hypothesis, two experiments were conducted. In the first one, phonological and visual...

The aim of the present study is to elaborate a paradigm associating methods of cognitive psychology and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in order to assess anatomical regions of the two procedures of reading described in the dual route cognitive models (i.e., lexical and sublexical pathway). Elaboration of this paradigm allows, in one p...

The aim of this research is to show that the mechanical demands of writing continue to affect the characteristics of produced texts in adults under certain situations of cognitive overload. The study reported here is intended to demonstrate that the quality of the text produced by educated adults fails when production is performed in the written ra...

The present experiment was carried out to test the hypothesis that the use of the written mode increases the working memory load. Second and fourth graders were orally presented with series of unrelated words which they were required to recall in sequence. Each subject had to recall five different lists in the following conditions: oral alone, writ...

The review examines the role of working memory in language production and more particularly in written production, taking a cognitive and developmental approach. This involves determining ways in which working memory contributes to individual and developmental differences in written production. After presenting works describing the relationship bet...

Résumé L'objectif de cette revue de travaux est d'étudier dans une perspective cognitive et développementale le rôle de la mémoire de travail en production langagière, et plus particulièrement en production écrite. Il s'agit de montrer comment la capacité de la mémoire de travail peut déterminer les différences individuelles et développementales ob...

Using a serial recall task, a previous study reported a Mode x Age interaction effect in language production (Bourdin & Fayol, 1994): children performed significantly better, in the oral than in the written mode, whereas the reverse was true for adults. These results suggested that until graphic transcription skills have become automated in childre...

Is written language production more difficult than oral language production? Probably, yes. But why? Several experiments were conducted in order to test the impact of low‐level activities involved in writing on the performance of higher‐level activities also involved in writing. Three assumptions were made: (1) the capacity of working‐memory is lim...
