In this research we compare the ability to take into account the intent in moral judgement with the level of Theory of Mind (ToM) in Typically Developing children (4 to 7 y.o.). In the first test we evaluated the moral algebra: combination of intent and consequence. Children had to judge social interactions between two characters in four situations...

This chapter presents research on moral judgment from the beginning of the 20th century to the present day. First, the authors will present the contribution of Piaget and Kohlberg's work on moral development from childhood to adulthood as well as the work of Gilligan on moral orientation and the difference observed between men and women. Then, the...

This chapter presents a research on moral judgment with pre-school and first-year school children. This research promotes, through the use of mimes and role playing, the development of moral reasoning and its components such as Theory of Mind and Perspective Taking of the other. The authors wanted to develop in 5-year-old children the ability to un...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the prevalence of aggressive behaviour among children and adolescents with intellectual disability (ID) and to demonstrate a possible link with moral judgement. Design/methodology/approach This study was carried out using two scales on a sample of 60 young people with ID in specialized schools. T...

Résumé Objectif L’objectif de notre étude était d’étudier les liens entre le jugement moral et les comportements agressifs chez des enfants et adolescents présentant une déficience intellectuelle légère. Méthodes Un échantillon de 60 participants présentant une déficience intellectuelle (30 enfants et 30 adolescents) issus unités localisées pour...

The judgment of blame was studied in a group of 28 teenagers, 14 with Asperger syndrome (AS) and 14 typically developed. Teenagers in each group were matched by age, cognitive development and academic level. They were presented with 12 short vignettes in which they had to judge an action according to the intent of the actor (deliberate and accident...

Findings that illusory contours can facilitate visual detection of a subthreshold real line (Dresp & Bonnet, 1995) were not replicated, when line-induced instead of edge-induced illusory contour stimuli were used (Salvano-Pardieu et al., 2006). Rather, the results of the latter study supported the importance of spatial cues. The present study was d...

The moral judgement of sanction in teaching and disciplinary practices was studied in a group of 222 teachers to determine the factors that affect sanction in the classroom. Factors studied included pupils' intent, consequences, recidivism, pupils' academic level, and family stability in two contexts: discipline and schoolwork. Results showed the s...

Subthreshold summation between physical target lines and illusory contours induced by edges such as those produced in the Kanizsa illusion has been reported in previous studies. Here, we investigated the ability of line-induced illusory contours, using Ehrenstein figures, to produce similar subthreshold summation. In the first experiment, three sti...

Does our ability to remember text that we read on a computer differ from our ability to remember text on paper? We examined memory for text read on paper vs. text read on a computer screen. A passage of 380 words of text was read silently for three minutes (black text on white background or white text on black background). Then participants worked...

To examine the perceptual processes that support reading and memory, we examined the effect of the polarity of both reading text and word-stem completion task (black text on white paper vs. white text on black background). Subjects read a passage of 380 words, in both polarities. They then were asked to associate cities with states for two minutes....

This paper was published as Child Study Journal, 2002, 32 (4), pp. 215-230. Metadata only entry The moral judgment of violence was studied in a group of 20 physically abused and 20 nonmaltreated boys (8 to 13 years old), in order to determine whether the experience of abuse from parents affects children's moral judgment of violence. Factors such as...

The strength of brightness illusion in an Ehrenstein figure has been examined as a function of two variables--inducing line length and gap size--by a two-alternative forced-choice procedure. The results show an interaction between the two variables; the length of the inducers and gap size are both involved in the formation of the brightness illusio...

The local motion adaptation at the basis of the motion aftereffect (MAE) can be expressed in a variety of ways, depending upon the structure of the test display [Wade et al. (1996). Vision Research, 36, 2167-2175]. Three experiments are reported, which examined the characteristics of the test display and of the local adaptation process. In Experime...

We wanted to study the role of the length of the inducers in the Ehrenstein illusion and, particularly, the possible interdependence of inducer length and gap size in sustaining the illusion. We used a subthreshold summation paradigm. As described previously (Tassi et al, 1995 Perception24 127), the presence of an illusory contour reduces the thres...

The perception of brightness differences in Ehrenstein figures and of illusory contours in phase-shifted line gratings was investigated as a function of the contrast polarity of the inducing elements. We presented either continuous lines or line-like arrangements composed of aligned dashes or dots whose spacing was varied. A yes/no procedure was us...

We present results from forced-choice experiments which show that the perceived strength of illusory contours is conditionally dependent on luminance contrast and contrast polarity, suggesting at least two distinct mechanisms.
