Written language

My main topics of research are Theory-of-Mind and Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD). During my PhD I studied the impact of embedded sentences and executive functions on typical and atypical development of Theory-of-Mind.

After my PhD, I studied the relations between Visual Perspective Taking (VPT) and Theory-of-Mind. Generally speaking, I am interested in school inclusion and the dimensional approach to psychopathologies.

My most recent projects link these topics to written language: inclusive writing in French and dyslexia, links between Theory-of-Mind and narratives.
