Sex differences in the Simon task help to interpret sex differences in selective attention.
In the last decade, a number of studies have reported sex differences in selective attention, but a unified explanation for these effects is still missing. This study aims to better understand these differences and put them in an evolutionary psychological context. 418 adult participants performed a computer-based Simon task, in which they responded to the direction of a left or right pointing arrow appearing left or right from a fixation point. Women were more strongly influenced by task-irrelevant spatial information than men (i.e., the Simon effect was larger in women, Cohen's d = 0.39). Further, the analysis of sex differences in behavioral adjustment to errors revealed that women slow down more than men following mistakes (d = 0.53). Based on the combined results of previous studies and the current data, it is proposed that sex differences in selective attention are caused by underlying sex differences in core abilities, such as spatial or verbal cognition
L'influence de la musique sur l'ĂȘtre humain et la gestion de la manifestation des troubles de comportement extĂ©riorisĂ©s en classe essai de mise en relation et rĂ©pertoire de techniques
L'influence de la musique sur l'ĂȘtre humain est un fait reconnu depuis l'AntiquitĂ©. Dans le cadre de la prĂ©sente recherche, nous avons analysĂ© comment cette influence peut ĂȘtre utilisĂ©e en classe, par la personne enseignante, dans un but de gestion de la manifestation des troubles de comportement extĂ©riorisĂ©s. Plus prĂ©cisĂ©ment, nous avons conceptualisĂ© et modĂ©lisĂ© l'utilisation de l'influence de la musique sur l'ĂȘtre humain pour la gestion des troubles de comportement extĂ©riorisĂ©s. Dans une deuxiĂšme Ă©tape, nous avons dĂ©veloppĂ© des prototypes d'activitĂ©s musicales qui tiennent compte de la conceptualisation et de la modĂ©lisation et qui sont donc susceptibles de contribuer Ă la gestion de la manifestation des troubles de comportement extĂ©riorisĂ©s. Les activitĂ©s musicales ainsi dĂ©veloppĂ©es sont destinĂ©es Ă ĂȘtre rĂ©alisĂ©es en classe, par la personne enseignante, avec ses Ă©lĂšves de six Ă huit ans
