Summary

It's well established in the literature that emotional events are more likely to be remembered than neutral events. Although this Emotional Enhancement of Memory (EEM) has been well demonstrated in the adult literature, little is known about EEM for typically developing children and children with Williams-Beuren syndrome (WBS). In this study, two investigations will be conducted concomitantly: one of EEM in typically developing children and the other of EEM in children with WBS. For this purpose, three behavioral experiments will be established to investigate EEM in this two populations, with the first experiment also including electroencephalography measures. Performances of typically developing children will be compared to young adults, and performances of children with WBS will be compared to control children matched for mental age. Finally, this study aims to bring new knowledge about the interactions between emotion and memory in children, and to better understand cognitive functioning in children with WBS.

Source and content memory

mnemic task with a phase of encoding negative, positive and neutral stimuli, will be proposed followed by an immediate recovery phase, composed of a recall task followed by a recognition task
