In this thesis, I aimed to map the development of facial expression recognition from early childhood up to adulthood by identifying for the first time in the literature the quantity and quality of visual information needed to recognise the six 'basic' emotions. Using behavioural and eye tracking measures, the original contributions of this thesis include: 1. An unbiased fine-grained mapping of...

La maladie d'Alzheimer est considérée comme un enjeu sanitaire du fait de l'augmentation des besoins en soins et en accompagnement des personnes âgées de plus de soixante-cinq ans. Partant de l'idée que les troubles cognitifs et comportementaux associés aux pathologies neurodégénératives complexifient les relations interindividuelles et la communication, l'auteur a souhaité mettre en...

Emotion regulation difficulties (ERD), or the inability to flexibly adjust emotional responses to environmental or personal demands, have persistently been associated in research with puzzling eating disorder (ED) psychopathology. However, consistent findings on the specificity of association between specific dimensions of ERD and specific symptoms of EDs are lacking. This thesis proposes an...

Introduction: Reward and stress are important determinants of motivated behaviors. Striatal regions play a crucial role in both motivation and hedonic processes. So far, little is known on how cognitive effort interacts with stress to modulate reward processes. This study examines how cognitive effort (load) interacts with an unpredictable acute stressor (threat-of-shock) to modulate motivational...

Psycholinguistic investigations of the way readers and speakers perceive gender have shown several biases associated with how gender is linguistically realized in language. Although such variations across languages offer interesting grounds for legitimate cross- linguistic comparisons, pertinent characteristics of grammatical systems – especially in terms of their gender asymmetries –...

Humans have a propensity to pursue rewards and to avoid punishments. The motivation to seek rewards and the ability to experience and to learn from positive consequences are fundamental functions in the reward processing. They promote survival and well-being. However, these functions can be challenged or impaired by stressful events or contexts. To clarify the determinant factors that might...

Early adversities such as critical live events or cumulative everyday challenges might exceed individual coping strategies or resources and thus lead to pathological changes in the long term. Maladaptive physiological and psychological processes as a consequence of dysfunctional stress response are the basis of these changes. Preschool age plays an important role in this context, since the...

Crucial in learning, especially academic learning, working memory develops with age during childhood. This thesis aims to broaden our knowledge of working memory functioning development between the preschool period and the school period. Previous studies have shown that goal neglect contributed to kindergarteners’ poor executive control. Hence, presenting goal cues during a task improves...

It is well-documented that university students have an increased risk in developing psychological problems because they face multiple stressors. Cognitive, behavioral, and mindfulness-based stress prevention programs were shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and perceived stress in university students. However, little is known of their effect on resource activation. Additionally, most...
