Our research seeks to understand early human development
In our laboratory, we perform studies with babies from birth up to three years old. We are also present in the maternities of Cochin and Port Royal.
At the Saints-Pères site, we will receive you for an hour maximum. After each test, we explain to you in more detail the purpose of our studies and exchange with you about the child.
All the information we collect is announced. Our research projects are listed below.

The present proposal seeks predictors of poor speech perception in noise in childhood by focusing on the development of auditory processing. More specifically, this project aims to characterize the role of sensory and non-sensory mechanisms involved in the development of speech perception in noise for normal-hearing and hearing-impaired children.
The idea of greatness - in its digital, spatial, and temporal aspects - is the central foundation of mathematics, science, and technology. But it origins, their relations during development, and the format of representation of the abstract concepts of number, space, and time are still debated and misunderstood.
The existence of a numerical mental line where different numbers are represented in the space from left to right, has been demonstrated in adults by numerous studies. The objective of this project is to study if this representation depends on learning or if it is present from an early age.
