Intact fluency in autism? A comprehensive approach of verbal fluency task including word imageability and concreteness

Verbal fluency is a cognitive function reflecting executive functions and the ability to retrieve the appropriate information from memory quickly. In autism spectrum disorder, the fluency performance is not clear. To address this issue, Dezso Nemeth (MEMO CRNL) and his collaborators worked out a sophisticated fluency measurement and ran a study on adults with high-functioning autism. They published their results in Autism Research.

Body schema plasticity is altered in Developmental Coordination Disorder

Une publication dans Neuropsychologia qui décrit les résultats d'une étude concernant la plasticité des représentations du corps chez les enfants atteints de TDC, avec l’hypothèse qu’elle est altérée. Cette étude menée par Marie Martel (IMPACT CRNL et laboratoire Dynamique du Langage) est le fruit d’une collaboration entre l’équipe ImpAct du CRNL (Alessandro Farnè & Eric Koun), le laboratoire Dynamique du Langage (Alice Roy & Véronique Boulenger) et l’Université de Padoue (Livio Finos).

Memory consolidation

Lison Fanuel, Teodora Vekony, Dezso Németh (MEMO CRNL) and Romain Quentin (EDUWELL CRNL) published a study about memory consolidation in Neuroimage Reports. They investigated whether memory traces could consolidate during short rest periods (10-30 sec). They showed that ultra-fast consolidation differently affects distinct memory processes.
