Je cherche à déterminer comment le nourrisson durant les deux premières années de vie, apprend et mémorise les informations de son environnement. Je m’intéresse également au rôle de l’expérience environnementale sur le développement des fonctions cognitives tel que le traitement des visages. Mes projets de recherche principaux sont :

La Reconnaissance visuelle :

Avec Jane Herbert (Sheffield, (http://www.shef.ac.uk/psychology/staff/academic/jane-herbert.html) nous essayons de déterminer quelles sont les différences entre la mémoire observée chez les nourrissons et celle des adultes. Par exemple, la capacité à reconnaître un objet ou une personne que l’on n’a pas vu depuis longtemps dans un nouvel environnement est extrêmement importante. A quel âge les nourrissons arrivent-ils à reconnaître des objets dans un nouveau contexte ?

Le traitement des visages :

Ma recherche sur les visages couvre plusieurs aspects. Par exemple, je cherche à déterminer les caractéristiques du système de traitement des visages chez les nouveau-nés. Mais également comment les nourrissons, puis les enfants, reconnaissent les visages et les expressions faciales. Il est plus difficile de reconnaître des visages d’autre type que le sien (Chinois par exemple pour un Européen), les nourrissons qui ont moins d’expérience avec les visages sont-ils capables de reconnaître tout type de visage ?

Surdité  et perception visuelle:

Nous cherchons à savoir si la perte d’une modalité sensorielle favorise l’utilisation des autres modalités. Nous nous sommes intéressés à l’effet de la surdité sur le système visuel en examinant les capacités visuelles d’enfants et d’adultes sourds. Nous avons montré que les sourds présentent un champ visuel périphérique plus développé que les entendants. Ce travail est fait avec Dr David Buckley and Dr charlotte Westerman de Sheffield http://www.shef.ac.uk/medicine/staff/buckley.html

Nous nous intéressons également à l’effet de la surdité sur le traitement des visages avec Dr Adelaide de Heering et Dr Bruno Rossion (http://www.nefy.ucl.ac.be/Face_Categorisation_Lab.htm ) from Louvain la Neuve.
