Although the effective mastery of reading is an essential prerequisite for secondary and higher education, national and international studies show that a worrying proportion of adolescents struggle to make use of texts in the service of functional tasks. However, there is a scarcity of individual as

The main goal of this basic-research and clinical application proposal entitled REORG is to assess preoperative and postoperative language and memory neuroplasticity in patients with temporal and pharmaco-resistant epilepsy (TLE-PR), using a multidisciplinary and multimodal neuroimaging approach. Fo

Mathematical Learning Disability (also termed dyscalculia) is a difficulty in learning math that is not explained by abnormal cognitive functioning, sensory deficits, or inadequate schooling. Math Learning Disability (MLD) affects 5% to 10% of children worldwide and -- given the importance of math s

Information compression is an essential aspect of memory and a fundamental building block of cognition. The goal of the present project is to study a crucial cognitive mechanism called chunking, which is a critical ingredient of short-term and long-term memory optimization. This project is twofold:

The conclusions of the French consensus conference CNESCO published in 2016 are clear: ‘C’est à partir des textes informatifs, notamment ceux contenus dans les manuels, que les élèves peuvent accéder aux savoirs délivrés dans les différentes disciplines scolaires’ [students can access knowledge abou

A wealth of research has demonstrated that humans possess intuitions about number from infancy on; A wealth of research has demonstrated that humans possess intuitions about number from infancy on; later, these intuitions guide children’s learning of formal arithmetic. Much less is known however of

This proposal concerns basic school learning, in particular reading comprehension. His originality is based on the angle adopted to study the development of the skills necessary for comprehension in a reading situation: he proposes to take a systematic interest not in the product of the activity of

The sound inventories of languages (consonant and vowel sounds used in a language to make words) are not arbitrary. Across the world's languages, sound inventories tend to be coherent: having one sound increases or decreases the chances of having certain other sounds, depending on shared properties

Knowledge of the development of basic auditory skills is of fundamental importance for understanding the development of speech perception and language acquisition. It is useful for understanding typical language acquisition but it also has great value for the understanding and rehabilitation of deaf

The complexity of learning language is daunting, as several levels of representation have to be acquired simultaneously: the sound structure of words and phrases (phonology), the association between the sound pattern of words and their meaning (lexicon), the internal structure of words and their gra

The cochlear implant (CI) in congenital deaf children is now widely considered as a highly efficient means to restore auditory functions. However, after several decades of retrospective analysis, it is clear that there is a large range of recuperation levels, and in extreme cases some CI recipients

In order to contribute to the analysis of the internationalization trends in higher education in a long-term perspective, the GlobalYouth Project aims to analyze individual admission records of 200,000 residents who were students at the Cité Internationale Universitaire de Paris (CIUP) in the 20th C

Students’ relationship to writing is a key determinant of school and university achievement and social integration in France. For this reason, writing still remains to be explored from the perspective of the writers’ actual skills, the linguistic aspects of their production and the contextual factor

From birth, infants move their eyes to explore their environment and interact with it. These saccadic eye movements support their motor, cognitive and social skills they progressively acquire as they grow up. The development of oculomotor control in early childhood remains both poorly understood and

In recent years, an increasing number of countries have adopted centralized procedures to organize the placement of students to higher education programs. Because they contain rich information on students’ choices, as well as on the characteristics of programs to which students can apply, centralize
