Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Trois verbes pour décrire le déroulement d'un des actes les plus fondamentaux, les plus automatiques, les plus adaptés, les plus fréquents que l'on peut réaliser comme celui de la prise d'un objet. Cet acte, si simple pour un adulte, exige du bébé la maîtrise difficile, mais néanmoins rapide, de ses capacités perceptives et motrices. Voir et toucher sont deux façons de percevoir un même objet par des modalités sensorielles très différentes. Elles sont pourtant coordonnées, dès la naissance, et le bébé ne vit plus dans un chaos mais dans un monde unifié et organisé. L'auteur de l'ouvrage confronte les différentes approches dans lesquelles sont étudiés la vision et le toucher chez le bébé dans la première année de la vie. Elle réalise simultanément une synthèse des recherches sur la sensori-motricité et la coordination des perceptions. C'est dans ce second domaine qu'elle a contribué à révéler, par ses nombreuses expériences sur les nourrissons, une coordination perceptive visuo-manuelle précoce.
Download or read book Touching for Knowing written by Yvette Hatwell and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2003-01-01 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The dominance of vision is so strong in sighted people that touch is sometimes considered as a minor perceptual modality. However, touch is a powerful tool which contributes significantly to our knowledge of space and objects. Its intensive use by blind persons allows them to reach the same levels of knowledge and cognition as their sighted peers.In this book, specialized researchers present the recent state of knowledge about the cognitive functioning of touch. After an analysis of the neurophysiology and neuropsychology of touch, exploratory manual behaviors, intramodal haptic (tactual-kinesthetic) abilities and cross-modal visual-tactual coordination are examined in infants, children and adults, and in non-human primates. These studies concern both sighted and blind persons in order to know whether early visual deprivation modifies the modes of processing space and objects. The last section is devoted to the technical devices favoring the school and social integration of the young blind: Braille reading, use of raised maps and drawings, sensory substitution displays, and new technologies of communication adapted for the blind.

Download or read book Vision et toucher chez l enfant written by Philippe Rochat and published by Peter Lang Group Ag, International Academic Publishers. This book was released on 1984 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L'objet est-il connu de façon analogue lorsqu'il est exploré par l'intermédiaire de l'oeil ou de la main? Quelle est l'évolution de la connaissance visuelle et tactile de l'objet chez l'enfant et comment s'organisent ces différentes modalités perceptives dans le développement? En traitant ces questions, cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans la tradition du problème de l'unité des sens dans la perception. Quatre recherches expérimentales montrent que la construction de l'espace d'un même objet doit être référée au contexte spécifique de la modalité de prise d'information. Dans la perspective du développement, les faits rapportés indiquent que l'enfant organise progressivement ses outils visuel et tactile afin de les faire collaborer à la construction d'un objet unique mais polysensoriel.

Download or read book Psychology of Touch and Blindness written by Morton A. Heller and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the considerable body of research that has been done to evaluate the touch skills of blind people. With an emphasis on cognitive and neuroscientific approaches, it encompasses a wide-ranging discussion of the theoretical issues in the field of touch perception and blindness. The volume includes chapters on sensory aspects of touch, perception in blind individuals, multimodal relations and their implications for instruction and development, and new technology, including sensory aids and virtual touch. A distinctive feature of the book is the inclusion of the practical applications of research in this area. A significant characteristic of research on touch and imagery in congenitally blind individuals is that it speaks to the basic nature of spatial imagery and the importance and necessity -- or lack thereof -- of specific visual sensory experience for the acquisition of knowledge about space, spatial layout, and picture perception. As such, the book will not only appeal to researchers and professionals with an interest in touch and blindness, but also to a wider audience of cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists working in the field of perception.
Download or read book Rethinking Innateness written by Jeffrey L. Elman and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1996 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rethinking Innateness asks the question, "What does it really mean to say that a behavior is innate?" The authors describe a new framework in which interactions, occurring at all levels, give rise to emergent forms and behaviors. These outcomes often may be highly constrained and universal, yet are not themselves directly contained in the genes in any domain-specific way. One of the key contributions of Rethinking Innateness is a taxonomy of ways in which a behavior can be innate. These include constraints at the level of representation, architecture, and timing; typically, behaviors arise through the interaction of constraints at several of these levels.The ideas are explored through dynamic models inspired by a new kind of "developmental connectionism," a marriage of connectionist models and developmental neurobiology, forming a new theoretical framework for the study of behavioral development. While relying heavily on the conceptual and computational tools provided by connectionism, Rethinking Innateness also identifies ways in which these tools need to be enriched by closer attention to biology.
Download or read book Early Child Development in the French Tradition written by Andre Vyt and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-05-13 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume shares significant contemporary "Francophone" contributions to developmental psychology outside geographic and intellectual borders of French-speaking countries. Except for the spread of Piagetian theory after World War II into Anglophone psychology, these new publications have not become so well known worldwide as progress in Francophone developmental psychology warrants. However, the work of a new generation of developmental theorists and experimentalists continues to shape important and original lines of thinking and research in France, Canada, and in other French-speaking countries. This work also contributes uniquely to issues such as sensori-motor development, perception, language acquisition, social interaction, and the growth and induction of cognitive mechanisms. Scientific concepts are not only embedded in a paradigm, but also in a culture and a language. Instead of writing about Francophone developmental psychology from "outside," this volume brings together original English-language contributions written by researchers working in different Francophone countries. Chapters summarize and interpret research on a given topic, making explicit the context of philosophical and theoretical traditions in which the empirical advances are embedded. Original essays are accompanied by editorial commentaries from eminent scientists working on the same topics in other parts of the world -- topics that are closely related to Francophone streams of thought and themes of study. Together, these essays fully and faithfully represent modern scientific perspectives toward understanding many facets of mental growth and development of the young child.

This book was released on 1990-07-31 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the outcome of a Nato Workshop, held in France in July 1989. The workshop was organized to examine current ideas about sensory-motor organizations during human infancy and their development through early childhood. The study of sensory-motor development is experiencing a profound shift in scope, focus, methodology and theoretical foundations. Many of these changes are quite new and not yet well covered in the literature. We thought it would be useful for some of the leading researchers in this field to convene together and to compare notes, and collectively to establish future directions for the field. The reasons for a new conceptualization of sensory-motor development are no doubt numerous, but three are especially significant: 1. One concerns a shift from studying either sensory or motor processing to investigation of the relations between the two. 2. The second is connected to the new emphasis on action, and its implications for goal-directed and intentional behaviour extending over time. 3. Lastly, new theories and methodologies provide access to new tools for studying and conceptualizing the developmental process. 1.-One of the most enduring legacies of the behaviorist perspective has been a focus on the stimulus and the response to the exclusion of the relation between them (Pick, 1989). Historically, this bias translated into a research agenda in which the investigator was concerned with either perceptual or motor competence, but rarely the relation between them.

Download or read book Non visual Human computer Interactions written by Dominique Burger and published by John Libbey Eurotext. This book was released on 1993 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Multimodal interface systems make it possible to interact with computers using speech and hearing, touch and gesture. The role of vision in human computer interaction could therefore be brought back to its natural place in communication. In many applications, non-visual presentation methods could be used efficiently to provide more natural human-computer interfaces. This evolution is of particular relevance for the visually handicapped. The purpose of this book is to provide a complete understanding of state-of-the-art research in non-visual human-computer interaction. The book is aimed at all researchers and developers interested in improving the accessibility of software applications, especially for people with disabilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pourquoi stimuler la peau des tout-petits jusqu'à l'adolescence dans les lieux d'accueil pour enfants et à l'école ? N'est-il pas suffisant de dorloter son bébé et jeune enfant ? Les échanges de massage entre enfants ont-ils leur place à l'école ? Est-ce souhaitable d'encourager les enfants plus âgés à se masser mutuellement ? Bien des questions surgissent lorsqu'on a été élevé dans une société où le massage est resté tabou. Voilà pourquoi il est important de se pencher sur ces questions à l'aide des connaissances disponibles actuellement et en tenant compte des expériences menées dans le domaine du massage à l'école. Cet ouvrage montre l'intérêt de cette démarche au sein de l'école. Il présente un parcours avec des activités à faire, activités susceptibles d'être reproduites en autonomie par l'enfant au sein de sa famille. Les recherches actuelles montrent que ce type de démarche facilite les apprentissages : - il faut être bien dans sa peau pour pouvoir apprendre ; - les enfants apprennent plus facilement en échangeant entre eux, c'est pourquoi entretenir une relation agréable avec ses pairs est indispensable ; - les enfants apprennent avec leur corps. Les mémoires se marquent dans le corps. Il est leur indicateur et leur cadre de référence pour les apprentissages.
