MARQUEURS DE DEVELOPPEMENT DE L'ATTENTION EXECUTIVE CHEZ L'ENFANT : POPULATIONS VARIEES
Executive attention is essential for emotional and behavioral self-regulation. There is inter-individual variability in the level of efficiency of executive attention from kindergarten entry, and this variability predicts children's academic performance at entry to elementary school and beyond. It is therefore essential to better understand the early stages of executive attention development and self-regulation from an early age in order to develop tools for early detection of executive attention disorders, so that school accommodations can be proposed as early as possible.
In previous work, we have identified early tactile information processing skills that underpin the development of executive attention. We would like to extend this work to a diverse population of preschool children, in order to consider new tools for the early detection of attention disorders. The MEDiATE-PRV project aims to compare the performance obtained in a validated attentional task in preschool children with assessments of tactile information processing, in relation to the psychomotor and executive development of the child. We will include 200 children aged 4 years to 5 years 11 months with different risk factors for ADHD.
