The main objective of my research activities is to determine the relative contribution of saturation and selective attention to short-term memory (STM) deficits in patients with recent-onset schizophrenia and their unaffected parents. In order to do so, we used the following methodological strategy: i) experimental task tailor-designed to pinpoint the cognitive mechanisms for the deficits observed in STM; ii) inclusion of unaffected relatives as a control for the potential effect of the disease on cognition (symptoms, chronicity); iii) assessment of patients at the beginning of the disease limiting the prevalence bias. This strategy will sheds some light on the processes involved in the manifestation of the widely observed STM deficits associated with schizophrenia and may serve to provide useful targets for other types of research (e.g., functional neuroimaging, genetic epidemiology).

My interests are in the domain of short term memory. Actually, although the processing of verbal information has received considerable attention in the literature, less is known about the processing of spatial material. Most of my research contributions aim at understanding the nature of the mechanisms responsible for the processing of visual and spatial information. For example, I am interested in the role of eye movements in spatial memory and to understand the factors that modulate memory for visual and spatial information. Moreover, whether spatial and verbal materials are processed by common or separate mechanisms in short term memory is still a matter of debate. Another research interest is to investigate the similarities and differences that exist between the processing of verbal and spatial information in order to further understand the nature of the short term memory mechanisms.

The proliferation of executive functions (EF) makes this concept unclear and difficult to operationnalize. The purpose of the present study is to estimate the extent of the proliferation and the degree to which EF overlap conceptually and psychometrically. A meta-analysis and exhaustive literature review have enabled us to identify the most frequent EF as well as the neuropsychological tests typically used to measure them. A semantic network analysis revealed clusters of EF and also indicated several overlaps across EF. These results are very informative about the organisation of EF and promote a holistic view of executive control.
