Book excerpt: Cadre théorique : Ce mémoire aborde dans un premier temps les notions d'apprentissages, permettant ensuite de comprendre la mémoire et particulièrement le processus de mémorisation. On retrouve ainsi l'exposé des différents types de mémoires existants, ainsi que les composantes de la mémorisation soit l'encodage, le stockage et la restitution. On y aborde également les processus de plasticité cérébrale et de consolidation mnésique (au travers de la consolidation synaptique et systémique). Le sommeil est ensuite abordé et décrit par ses caractéristiques et ses stades avant d'être détaillé chez l'enfant. Pour terminer, la dernière partie révèle les liens étroits qu'entretiennent sommeil et mémoire. Des informations physiologiques sont données ainsi que des résultats d'études menées pour analyser ce lien particulier. Méthode : Afin d'étudier au mieux l'impact de la sieste sur la consolidation des apprentissages chez les jeunes enfants en fonction de la méthode d'apprentissage, deux expériences ont été mises en place. Une première expérience de type visuo-perceptif, durant laquelle des élèves de petite et moyenne sections étaient confrontés à deux phases d'apprentissage d'images, dont la deuxième phase se trouvait avant la sieste pour un groupe et après la sieste pour l'autre groupe, suivi d'une phase de restitution selon deux conditions, restitution immédiate ou sous 3 semaines. La seconde expérience de nature auditivo-perceptive, était composée quant à elle de trois phases d'apprentissage, dont la dernière avait lieu soit avant la sieste pour un groupe, soit après la sieste pour l'autre groupe, et d'une phase de restitution sous deux conditions, restitution immédiate ou restitution sous trois semaines. Prédictions : On estime que ces études pourraient révéler une absence d'effet de la sieste sur les apprentissages de type visuo-perceptifs, ne demandant pas à l'enseignant d'inclure un temps de sieste dans ce genre d'apprentissage. Or, on estime que la sieste a un impact positif sur la mémorisation d'apprentissage auditivo-perceptifs de type apprentissage de comptines. Cette prédiction pourrait permettre à l'enseignant d'adapter sa pédagogie pour améliorer la qualité de l'apprentissage en proposant un temps de sieste entre deux phases d'apprentissage pour les élèves de cycle 1 ou un temps de repos ou de relaxation pour les élèves des cycles 2 et 3.

Download or read book Impact des troubles du sommeil sur les processus de consolidation des apprentissages d pendants du sommeil chez l enfant written by Jean-Baptiste Sauzeau and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le sommeil joue un rôle majeur dans les processus de consolidation des apprentissages. Les performances des sujets lors de la restitution de tests de mémoire sont meilleures lorsque les phases d'apprentissage et de restitution sont séparées par une période de sommeil plutôt que par une période d'éveil. Les effets du sommeil sur ces processus de consolidation ont largement été étudiés chez l'adulte, notamment à l'aide de protocoles de privation de sommeil spécifiques. Néanmoins, l'utilisation de ces protocoles de privation de sommeil est impossible chez les enfants pour des raisons d'éthique. Nos connaissances actuelles relatives aux effets du sommeil sur les processus de consolidation des apprentissages dépendants du sommeil sont donc très limitées chez l'enfant. Les troubles du sommeil touchent une proportion non négligeable des enfants et ont des répercussions diurnes importantes, notamment au niveau académique. De manière surprenante, bien que la majorité des enfants ayant des troubles du sommeil soit en échec scolaire, l'impact de ces troubles du sommeil sur les processus de consolidation des apprentissages dépendants du sommeil a très rarement été évalué. L'objectif de ce projet de thèse était donc d'évaluer l'impact des troubles du sommeil sur ces processus de consolidation. Pour atteindre cet objectif, nous avons sélectionné 3 pathologies présentant des atteintes spécifiques du sommeil : la narcolepsie, le syndrome d'apnées obstructives du sommeil (SAOS) et l'épilepsie bénigne de l'enfant à pointes centro-temporales (EPCT). Nous avons soumis ces groupes d'enfants ainsi qu'un groupe d'enfants contrôles appariés en âge et en sexe à des tests de consolidation mnésique dont la phase d'apprentissage était réalisée le soir avant le coucher et la phase de restitution le matin après la nuit post-apprentissage. Afin d'avoir la vision la plus complète possible de l'impact des troubles du sommeil sur les processus de consolidation des apprentissages, ces tests de consolidation mnésique impliquaient des apprentissages de nature déclarative (tâches verbale, visuo-spatiale et émotionnelle) et non-déclarative (tâche procédurale). Nous avons également mesuré les capacités attentionnelles des enfants avant l'apprentissage et avant la restitution des tests de consolidation mnésique. Les résultats que nous avons obtenus semblent indiquer que la narcolepsie, le SAOS et l'EPCT auraient un impact négatif sur les processus de consolidation des apprentissages visuo-spatiaux dépendants du sommeil. En revanche, ces 3 pathologies ne semblent pas avoir d'influence sur ces processus dans le cadre des apprentissages verbal, émotionnel et procédural. Ces résultats suggèrent donc que les aspects concernant la consolidation nocturne des apprentissages devraient être intégrés dans les évaluations neuropsychologiques rentrant en compte dans le diagnostic des enfants porteurs de ces pathologies. De plus, les suivis pédagogique et rééducatif de ces enfants devraient être reconsidérés.

Download or read book Cogitations written by Wilfred R. Bion and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 327 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cogitations, the last of the posthumous publications, is a collection of occasional writings representing Bion's attempts to clarify and evaluate both his own ideas and those of others by casting them in written form and frequently addressing them to an imaginary audience. Covering a period between February 1958 and April 1979, Cogitations delves into a wide range of material - psychoanalysis and science, mathematics and logic, literature and semantics. Some form a background to Bion's theoretical development, showing the doubts and arguments leading to the ideas expressed in his books, others highlighting and detailing some of the more abstract points in them, and some exploring topics destined for books that were to remain unwritten.

Download or read book Sleep and Development written by Mona El-Sheikh and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-22 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sleep problems of American children have become a matter of national concern, with recent estimates indicating that 13% to 27% of children have sleep problems as reported by their parents. Considering the profound impact that disrupted sleep can have on family functioning and processes, it is critical that researchers and clinicians understand how to identify sources and contexts related to sleep disruptions and their consequences. Sleep and Development: Familial and Socio-Cultural Considerations is the first volume to integrate knowledge and approaches from numerous disciplines to focus on the sleep and development of children across adjustment and cognitive domains. Addressing the sleep patterns of children as well as those of other family members, sleep specialists from pediatrics, human development, family studies, and developmental and clinical psychology examine linkages between sleep and family processes, cultural attitudes towards sleep, and normative sleep disturbances in children, such as resistance to bedtime, chronic deprivation, and inconsistent sleep schedules. Individual chapters offer discussion on topics such as sleep and attachment, the effects of trauma on children's sleep, the cultural ecology of sleep, clinical assessment of sleep, and more. Highlighting research findings obtained within the last ten years, Sleep and Development synthesizes literature from disparate areas of inquiry in an effort to frame future investigations that will lead to a deeper and better integrated understanding of sleep and development. This comprehensive volume is a fundamental text for students, researchers, psychologists, and physicians interested in the study of sleep and sleep problems.

Download or read book Permanent Present Tense written by Suzanne Corkin and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2013-05-14 with total page 402 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1953, 27-year-old Henry Gustave Molaison underwent an experimental "psychosurgical" procedure -- a targeted lobotomy -- in an effort to alleviate his debilitating epilepsy. The outcome was unexpected -- when Henry awoke, he could no longer form new memories, and for the rest of his life would be trapped in the moment. But Henry's tragedy would prove a gift to humanity. As renowned neuroscientist Suzanne Corkin explains in Permanent Present Tense, she and her colleagues brought to light the sharp contrast between Henry's crippling memory impairment and his preserved intellect. This new insight that the capacity for remembering is housed in a specific brain area revolutionized the science of memory. The case of Henry -- known only by his initials H. M. until his death in 2008 -- stands as one of the most consequential and widely referenced in the spiraling field of neuroscience. Corkin and her collaborators worked closely with Henry for nearly fifty years, and in Permanent Present Tense she tells the incredible story of the life and legacy of this intelligent, quiet, and remarkably good-humored man. Henry never remembered Corkin from one meeting to the next and had only a dim conception of the importance of the work they were doing together, yet he was consistently happy to see her and always willing to participate in her research. His case afforded untold advances in the study of memory, including the discovery that even profound amnesia spares some kinds of learning, and that different memory processes are localized to separate circuits in the human brain. Henry taught us that learning can occur without conscious awareness, that short-term and long-term memory are distinct capacities, and that the effects of aging-related disease are detectable in an already damaged brain. Undergirded by rich details about the functions of the human brain, Permanent Present Tense pulls back the curtain on the man whose misfortune propelled a half-century of exciting research. With great clarity, sensitivity, and grace, Corkin brings readers to the cutting edge of neuroscience in this deeply felt elegy for her patient and friend.

Download or read book A Velvet Empire written by David Todd and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How France's elites used soft power to pursue their imperial ambitions in the nineteenth century After Napoleon's downfall in 1815, France embraced a mostly informal style of empire, one that emphasized economic and cultural influence rather than military conquest. A Velvet Empire is a global history of French imperialism in the nineteenth century, providing new insights into the mechanisms of imperial collaboration that extended France's power from the Middle East to Latin America and ushered in the modern age of globalization. David Todd shows how French elites pursued a cunning strategy of imperial expansion in which conspicuous commodities such as champagne and silk textiles, together with loans to client states, contributed to a global campaign of seduction. French imperialism was no less brutal than that of the British. But while Britain widened its imperial reach through settler colonialism and the acquisition of far-flung territories, France built a "velvet" empire backed by frequent military interventions and a broadening extraterritorial jurisdiction. Todd demonstrates how France drew vast benefits from these asymmetric, imperial-like relations until a succession of setbacks around the world brought about their unravelling in the 1870s. A Velvet Empire sheds light on France's neglected contribution to the conservative reinvention of modernity and offers a new interpretation of the resurgence of French colonialism on a global scale after 1880. This panoramic book also highlights the crucial role of collaboration among European empires during this period—including archrivals Britain and France—and cooperation with indigenous elites in facilitating imperial expansion and the globalization of capitalism.

Download or read book Governing Animals written by Kimberly K. Smith and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the role of government in protecting animal welfare? What principles should policy makers draw on as they try to balance animal welfare against human liberty? Much has been written in recent years on our moral duties towards animals, but scholars and activists alike have neglected the important question of how far the state may go to enforce those duties. Kimberly K. Smith fills that gap by exploring how liberal political principles apply to animal welfare policy. Focusing on animal welfare in the United States, Governing Animals begins with an account of the historical relationship between animals and the development of the American liberal welfare state. It then turns to the central theoretical argument: Some animals (most prominently pets and livestock) may be considered members of the liberal social contract. That conclusion justifies limited state intervention to defend their welfare - even when such intervention may harm human citizens. Taking the analysis further, the study examines whether citizens may enjoy property rights in animals, what those rights entail, how animals may be represented in our political and legal institutions, and what strategies for reform are most compatible with liberal principles. The book takes up several policy issues along the way, from public funding of animal rescue operations to the ethics of livestock production, animal sacrifice, and animal fighting. Beyond even these specific policy questions, this book asks what sort of liberalism is suitable for the challenges of the twenty-first century. Smith argues that investigating the political morality of our treatment of animals gives us insight into how to design practices and institutions that protect the most vulnerable members of our society, thus making of our shared world a more fitting home for both humans and the nonhumans to which we are so deeply connected.

Download or read book Can Animals Be Moral written by Mark Rowlands and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2015-03 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Can animals act morally? Philosophical tradition answers "no," and has apparently convincing arguments on its side. Cognitive ethology supplies a growing body of empirical evidence that suggests these arguments are wrong. This groundbreaking book assimilates both philosophical and ethological frameworks into a unified whole and argues for a qualified "yes."

Download or read book The Animal Rights Debate written by Gary L. Francione and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2010-10-26 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gary L. Francione is a law professor and leading philosopher of animal rights theory. Robert Garner is a political theorist specializing in the philosophy and politics of animal protection. Francione maintains that we have no moral justification for using nonhumans and argues that because animals are property or economic commodities laws or industry practices requiring "humane" treatment will, as a general matter, fail to provide any meaningful level of protection. Garner favors a version of animal rights that focuses on eliminating animal suffering and adopts a protectionist approach, maintaining that although the traditional animal-welfare ethic is philosophically flawed, it can contribute strategically to the achievement of animal-rights ends. As they spar, Francione and Garner deconstruct the animal protection movement in the United States, the United Kingdom, Europe, and elsewhere, discussing the practices of such organizations as PETA, which joins with McDonald's and other animal users to "improve" the slaughter of animals. They also examine American and European laws and campaigns from both the rights and welfare perspectives, identifying weaknesses and strengths that give shape to future legislation and action.

Download or read book Species Matters written by Marianne DeKoven and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2012-01-10 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The question of the animal has preoccupied an increasing number of humanities, science, and social science scholars in recent years, and important work continues to expand the burgeoning field of animal studies. However, a key question still needs to be explored: Why has the academy struggled to link advocacy for animals to advocacy for various human groups? Within cultural studies, in which advocacy can take the form of a theoretical intervention, scholars have resisted arguments that add "species" to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, and other human-identity categories as a site for critical analysis. Species Matters: Humane Advocacy and Cultural Theory considers whether and why cultural studies—specifically cultural theory—should pay more attention to animal advocacy and whether or why animal studies should pay more attention to questions raised by cultural theory. The contributors to this volume focus on the "humane" treatment of animals and various human groups and the implications, both theoretical and practical, of blurring the distinction between "the human" and "the animal." This anthology addresses important questions raised by the history of representing humans as the only animal capable of acting humanely, providing a framework for reconsidering the nature of humane discourse, whether in theory, literary and cultural texts, or current advocacy movements outside of the academy.

Download or read book Radical Coherency written by David Antin and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2012-03-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “We got to talking”—so David Antin begins the introduction to Radical Coherency, embarking on the pursuit that has marked much of his breathless, brilliantly conversational work. For the past forty years, whether spoken under the guise of performance artist or poet, cultural explorer or literary critic, Antin’s innovative observations have helped us to better understand everything from Pop to Postmodernism. Intimately wedded to the worlds of conceptual art and poetics, Radical Coherency collects Antin’s influential critical essays and spontaneous, performed lectures (or “talk pieces”) for the very first time, capturing one of the most distinctive perspectives in contemporary literature. The essays presented here range from the first serious assessment of Andy Warhol published in a major art journal, as well as Antin’s provocative take on Clement Greenberg’s theory of Modernism, to frontline interventions in present debates on poetics and fugitive pieces from the ’60s and ’70s that still sparkle today—and represent a gold mine for art historians of the period. From John Cage to Allan Kaprow, Mark Rothko to Ludwig Wittgenstein, Antin takes the reader on an idiosyncratic, personal journey through twentieth-century culture with his trademark antiformalist panache—one thatwill be welcomed by any fan of this consummate trailblazer.
