Does a Child’s Opinion Counterweight That of an Adult Expert?
In our everyday life, we are constantly exposed to multiple pieces of information from different sources with varying degrees of relevance. It is therefore important to understand whether exposure to information from sources we know to be irrelevant can nevertheless influence us. This study examines this question through the lens of the anchoring effect ( Tversky & Kahneman, 1974 ) by analyzing how numbers provided by sources of varying relevance might influence numerical estimates. In this study, participants answered general knowledge questions after being exposed to either a relevant anchor (from an adult expert), an irrelevant anchor (from a preschooler), or both anchors in succession. The results show that the presence of two opposite anchors, in size and relevance, can reduce the anchoring effect when they are presented consecutively. We discuss the psychological processes underlying this phenomenon.

Autour des interactions entre fake news et création de faux souvenirs
Résumé : La mémoire joue un rôle essentiel dans nos interactions quotidiennes. Pourtant, sa malléabilité la rend particulièrement sensible aux diverses sources d’information auxquelles nous sommes continuellement exposés. Ainsi, l’exposition à de nouvelles informations peut modifier le souvenir d’un évènement, ou pire encore, créer un souvenir d’un évènement jamais vécu. Une vaste littérature s’est intéressée à ce phénomène, appelé « faux souvenirs », et a permis de déterminer les conditions favorables à l’altération des souvenirs. Dans ce chapitre, nous examinons en détail certains des facteurs qui favorisent l’émergence des faux souvenirs. De plus, nous explorons les recherches portant sur une question importante et actuelle : l’influence des fake news sur notre mémoire. L’exposition constante à des informations, parfois erronées, pose un défi supplémentaire pour notre mémoire, en la confrontant à des données potentiellement capables de la remodeler. Quelles sont les conséquences réelles de l’exposition aux fake news sur notre mémoire ? Sommes-nous tous sensibles aux fake news de la même manière ? Quelles sont les fake news les plus susceptibles de produire des faux souvenirs ? Est-il possible d’en limiter l’impact ? Voici quelques-unes des questions auxquelles nous tenterons de répondre dans ce chapitre.

Does Boundary Extension Need Attention?
When we look at a picture, we tend to remember it by enriching the constructed mental representation with elements not present but probable outside the current view. The tendency to remember the perceived view with a broader scope is known as boundary extension (BE). Does BE benefit from paying reduced attention to the picture? While attention plays a central role in memory, only a few studies to date have investigated this question in the field of BE. In this research, participants completed a BE task in single- and dual-task conditions. The results indicate that BE is eliminated when the attention is divided on the onset of scene construction. We therefore discuss the role of attention in BE.

Binet et la prestidigitation : comprendre les outils psychologiques des magiciens avec les outils méthodologiques du 19ème siècle
Alors qu’il est directeur adjoint au laboratoire de psychologie physiologique de la Sorbonne, Alfred Binet (1857-1911) décide, en 1894, d’étudier une nouvelle population de sujets : les prestidigitateurs. Pour réaliser cette étude, il a recours à des magiciens professionnels de renom, notamment Gustave Arnould (1850-1920) et Edouard-Joseph Raynaly (1842-1918). Mais surtout il décide d’utiliser avec l’aide d’un ancien collaborateur d’Etienne-Jules Marey (1830-1904), Georges Demenÿ (1850-1917), un appareil nouveau : le chronophotographe. En effet, pour réaliser cette étude, Binet se sert de la chronophotographie qui permet de décomposer les mouvements rapides et imperceptibles à l’œil nu. L’utilisation de cette technique lui permet de souligner l’implication de certains mécanismes psychologiques dans les tours de magie ; mécanismes qui sont encore étudiés dans les recherches actuelles, comme le détournement d’attention, mais aussi le boniment ou le recours à des écrans. Dans cet article, nous mettons en perspective certaines conclusions de Binet avec les travaux actuels sur la psychologie de la prestidigitation. Nous présentons ensuite le cheminement ayant conduit Binet à l’utilisation de la chronophotographie pour étudier la magie.

Dynamic perception in chess
The present study examines the dynamic aspects of perceptual processes in expert chess players. This topic is approached in terms of the anticipation processes carried out by experienced players during the encoding of chess positions. The aim of the first experiment, which used a short-term comparison task, was to stress the role of anticipation, which allows expert players to focus their attention on the area of the studied position where they expect the likely standard move to occur. The second experiment used a long-term recognition task. The results showed that expert players made many false recognitions on the new positions that could be expected from the positions presented in the preliminary study phase. Taken together, the results of the two experiments highlight the anticipatory component of expert perception.

Chapitre 16. Utilisation conjointe de connaissances abstraites et de connaissances contextualisées pour la résolution de problèmes d’échecs
In this paper, we present multidisciplinary research on problem solving, including both cognitive psychology studies and artificial intelligence research. Our study deals with the use of abstract knowledge (schemas) and/or contextualized knowledge (cases) in solving problems with spatial features. An experiment, on the game of chess, showed that subjects jointly build up these two kinds of knowledge, and use either according to the context. A model based on the double use of schemas and cases was elaborated and implemented for problems used in the experimental study.
