Influence de l'affectivité sur l'activité cognitive des enfants

Abstract

In this literature review, the social construction of intelligence is examined. In spite of the strong empirical investigations in this field over the last fifteen years, the effect of the quality of a relationship on participants' cognition is still unknown, as are the interactive modalities of problem solving. A review of the typical mechanisms of the cognitive social regulation of« neutral » relationships will be presented first, followed by a description of the interactive modalities likely to be affected by the shared socio-affective proximity or distance between two persons. The degree of interpersonal proximity will be examined for highly significant relationships, that is, the mother-child attachment during the first and the middle of the infancy and friendships between peers during the school years.
