Le "bonhomme" constitue le thème de dessin préféré de l'enfant. On estime en effet que 75 % des dessins d'enfants sont des personnages. Du premier bonhomme "rond" ou "en pièces détachées" au bonhomme dynamique dessiné de profil en passant par le mystérieux "bonhomme têtard ", c'est une large fresque de l'évolution du dessin de l'enfant qui est proposée. La carte d'identité, les signes particuliers et les mensurations du bonhomme sont présentés et discutés. Par exemple, on apprend comment se précise la catégorie sexuelle du bonhomme, comment d'abord souvent manchot, il devient gaucher, comment s'ajustent ses proportions... Ce livre, largement illustré, prend pour point de départ le dessin de l'enfant. Mais dessiner est une activité qui sollicite de nombreuses capacités. L'enfant qui dessine perçoit et se représente l'espace, mémorise des modèles, construit des procédures, applique des conventions, contrôle ses tracés... À partir du dessin, c'est la question du développement global de l'enfant qui est posée. L'évolution du dessin est mise en relation avec la cognition et la mémoire, l'habileté manuelle, la latéralité, le schéma corporel, l'apprentissage de l'écriture, la créativité... Sur chaque aspect, l'auteur associe la description des performances, les interprétations psychologiques et des réflexions théoriques plus générales. Destiné aux étudiants en psychologie, en IUFM et aux psychologues praticiens, cet ouvrage intéressera aussi les enseignants, les éducateurs ainsi que les parents soucieux de suivre et de comprendre les progrès de leur enfant. Cette deuxième édition, mise à jour et augmentée, tient compte des dernières avancées dans le domaine.

Cognitive flexibility is the cornerstone of learning and enables us to cope with a constantly changing environment. By adapting our knowledge and habits in order to respond to new situations, cognitive flexibility plays a fundamental role in learning. This book proposes a study of the fundamental notions of cognitive flexibility: its measurement and development, its links with metacognition and critical thinking and the role of context in its expression, as well as its involvement in discovering solutions, transferring knowledge and processing analogies. Convergent perspectives are also presented in order to paint a clear picture of cognitive flexibility and to discuss the issues at stake. Thanks to the combined views of specialists in cognitive and developmental psychology, Cognitive Flexibility suggests new educational possibilities based on the results of empirical work on the subject.

This open access book explores how children draw god. It looks at children’s drawings collected in a large variety of cultural and religious traditions. Coverage demonstrates the richness of drawing as a method for studying representations of the divine. In the process, it also contributes to our understanding of this concept, its origins, and its development. This intercultural work brings together scholars from different disciplines and countries, including Switzerland, Japan, Russia, Iran, Brazil, and the Netherlands. It does more than share the results of their research and analysis. The volume also critically examines the contributions and limitations of this methodology. In addition, it also reflects on the new empirical and theoretical perspectives within the broader framework of the study of this concept. The concept of god is one of the most difficult to grasp. This volume offers new insights by focusing on the many different ways children depict god throughout the world. Readers will discover the importance of spatial imagery and color choices in drawings of god. They will also learn about how the divine's emotional expression correlates to age, gender, and religiosity as well as strategies used by children who are prohibited from representing their god.

This book contains the second of two volumes of “Phantasms of the Living”, an 1886 work on the subject of spiritualism by leading members of the Society for Psychical Research Edmund Gurney (1847 – 1888), Frederic W. H. Myers (1843 – 1901), and Frank Podmore (1856 – 1910).Within it, the authors have documented more than 700 cases of ghost sightings which they believe are evidence of psychic ability. This volume contains an introduction by Myers as well as an outline of their analytical methods, while the rest is dedicated to telepathy, hallucinations, dreams, etc. “Phantasms of the Living” constitutes a pioneering study that provides a vivid insight into the Victorian fascination with the occult and the supernatural, not to be missed by those with an interest in the subject. Contents include: “Preliminary Remarks: Grounds of Caution”, “The Experimental Basis: Thought-Transference”, “The Transition From Experimental to Spontaneous Telepathy”, “General Criticism of the Evidence for Spontaneous Telepathy”, “Note on Witchcraft”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
