Regular rhythmic and audio-visual stimulations enhance procedural learning of a perceptual-motor sequence in healthy adults: A pilot study

International audienceProcedural learning is essential for the effortless execution of many everyday life activities. However, little is known about the conditions influencing the acquisition of procedural skills. The literature suggests that sensory environment may influence the acquisition of perceptual-motor sequences, as tested by a Serial Reaction Time Task. In the current study, we investigated the effects of auditory stimulations on procedural learning of a visuo-motor sequence. Given that the literature shows that regular rhythmic auditory rhythm and multisensory stimulations improve motor speed, we expected to improve procedural learning (reaction times and errors) with repeated practice with auditory stimulations presented either simultaneously with visual stimulations or with a regular tempo, compared to control conditions (e.g., with irregular tempo). Our results suggest that both congruent audiovisual stimulations and regular rhythmic auditory stimulations promote procedural perceptual-motor learning. On the contrary, auditory stimulations with irregular or very quick tempo alter learning. We discuss how regular rhythmic multisensory stimulations may improve procedural learning with respect of a multisensory rhythmic integration process

Chapitre II. Les agences de l’eau

1. Introduction Peu de gens le savent, mais l’eau potable à domicile est une conquête du xxe siècle dans les pays les plus développés. D’abord considérée comme un luxe, elle se banalise après la seconde guerre mondiale avec le développement des réseaux d’alimentation en eau dans les villes, puis dans les campagnes. Aujourd’hui, l’eau rythme chaque jour les activités de notre quotidien et elle est vitale à nos besoins les plus essentiels. Apparue il y a 3 à 4 milliards d’années, l’eau est pres..

1. Introduction Parmi les sources potentielles de pollution, le secteur industriel, a entrepris depuis de nombreuses années, des efforts importants afin de réduire et de surveiller les volumes de polluants rejetés dans le milieu aquatique (Eckenfelder, 2001 ; Cox et al., 2006 ; Crini et Badot, 2007). En effet, à partir des années 1970, des investissements ont été, par exemple, réalisés pour mettre en œuvre des technologies de traitement des eaux usées via l’installation sur site de stations d..
