How rich are false memories in a naturalistic context in healthy aging
The recall of factual and contextual information is a core characteristic of episodic memory sensitive to aging effects. The innovative aim of the present study was to assess in a naturalistic context the quantity and quality of correct and false free recalls among younger and older adults considering feature binding (What-Where-When-Details) and recollection (Remembering vs. Knowing). Thanks to virtual reality, we designed a multimodal environme…
Psychologie expérimentale et Völkerpsychologie chez Wundt. Un état des lieux1
Au cours des années 1860, Wundt considérait déjà qu’il existait des liens étroits entre la psychologie expérimentale et la Völkerpsychologie (psychologie des peuples), c’est-à-dire entre la psychologie individuelle de type explicatif (utilisant la méthode expérimentale) et la socio-psychologie collective de type descriptif (utilisant les méthodes psycho-historique et comparative). L’objectif de cet article est de présenter l’évolution de ces deux…

The Collin dynamometer
Parmi les premiers instruments utilisés par les psychologues on trouve le dynamomètre manuel qui fut d’abord destiné à mesurer la force physique des individus avant qu’il ne soit considéré comme un outil de mesure de la « force mentale ». En effet, les premiers tests mentaux qui ont été inventés (par ex. Cattell, 1890) proposaient systématiquement une épreuve psycho-physique de force manuelle avec un dynamomètre. Nous proposons ici de présenter u…
The Importance of Instrument Makers for the Development of Experimental Psychology
The importance of instrument firms in the development of psychology, and science in general, should not be underestimated since it would not have been possible for various leading psychologists at the turn of the twentieth century to conduct certain experiments without the assistance of instrument makers, as is often the case today. To illustrate the historical perspective introduced here, the example of Alfred Binet is taken, as he is an interes…
The Hipp chronoscope versus the d’Arsonval chronometer
Chronoscopes and chronographs were commonly used instruments that measured reaction times (RTs) in the first psychology laboratories. The Hipp chronoscope is commonly associated with the emergence of psychological laboratories in the late 19th century. This instrument is considered the key apparatus for the study of scientific psychology. Although German and American psychologists preferred the Hipp chronoscope, French psychologists of late 19th …
Hearing the inaudible experimental subject
Historians of psychology have traditionally focused on ideas (intellectual history), the "great men" who produced them (an older style of biography sometimes called "hagiography"), or-more recently-the influence of the contexts that shaped them (social and cultural history). A still more recent approach is to bring in those invisible subjects whose experiences have previously been ignored, most often through histories focusing on the discipline's…
A Big Piece of News
This paper describes the founding of the Revue Philosophique de la France et de l'Étranger by Théodule Ribot (1839-1916) in 1876. Like the English journal Mind, which was launched the same year, this journal introduced the new scientific psychology to France. Its founding increased Ribot's scientific credibility in psychology and led him to be regarded as the most distinguished French specialist in the field. First, we review the state of French …
Alfred Binet and experimental psychology at the Sorbonne laboratory
Between 1892 and 1904, Alfred Binet (1857-1911) produced, in the psychology laboratory of the Sorbonne, a whole set of original works that still remains little known today. He integrated the laboratory, directed by the psychophysiologist Henry Beaunis (1830-1921), in 1891. We describe the circumstances that led Binet to take the direction of this laboratory in 1895 and present scientific investigations that were conducted there by Binet and his c…

Superior Implicit Memory
In this pilot study, implicit memory was examined in participants selected according to their scores on the Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised. Implicit memory was explored using a word-stem completion test after 24 participants had processed texts to be remembered. Variations in priming were observed among 12 Normal and 12 Good memorizers (Verbal Memory scores >110) following presentation of target words in the context of a coherent text. One intrigu…

Alfred Binet and higher education
At the beginning of the 20th century, Alfred Binet sought teaching positions at the Collége de France and the Sorbonne. Binet wanted to develop experimental psychology in France, but the strong psychopathological orientation of French psychology blocked his ambition. The 1st part of this article relates the history of the introduction of psychology, via Théodule Ribot, to the Sorbonne and the Collège de France. Ribot's premature retirement from t…

Study of cases of anterograde amnesia in a disease of mental disintegration
Pierre Janet, in his famous paper (1892) on anterograde amnesia, is concerned with the theme of the disintegration of the human personality. He shows that the weakened personality may lose the power to assimilate memories of current events. After a severe shock, there may supervene not only a retrograde amnesia (a blotting out from memory of some period before the accident), but also a continued or anterograde amnesia, that is to say, an inabilit…
Introducing psychology as an academic discipline in France
This paper describes the context in which the teaching of psychology as an autonomous discipline was introduced in France, and reproduces the first psychology lecture given in France by Théodule Ribot on 9 April 1888 at The Collège de France. In France, this recognition was delayed because of the negative influence of spiritualist philosophy. It took both the acknowledged status of a man (Ribot) and a minister's decision for this new type of teac…
Is the Picture Bizarreness Effect a Generation Effect
Bizarre stimuli usually facilitate recall compared to common stimuli. This investigation explored the so-called bizarreness effect in free recall by using 80 simple line drawings of common objects (common vs bizarre). 64 subjects participated with 16 subjects in each group. Half of the subjects received learning instructions and the other half rated the bizarreness of each drawing. Moreover, drawings were presented either alone or with the name o…
La psychologie au XIXème siècle
Cet article présente une histoire abrégée de la psychologie au XIXème siècle à partir de l’utilisation du terme « psychologie » dans les ouvrages et les textes. Trois pays ont contribué, largement indépendamment, au développement de la psychologie en tant que discipline autonome : l’Allemagne, la Grande-Bretagne et la France. L’importance de la tradition empirique allemande pour l’établissement de la psychologie universitaire a été soulignée. Dan…

The authors present the history of the founding of the French journal L'Annee Psychologique. The names of Theodule Ribot (1839-1916), Henry Beaunis (1830-1921), and Alfred Binet (1857-1911) are closely associated with the journal. Ribot's election to the chair of Experimental and Comparative Psychology at the College de France in 1888 marked the official emancipation of psychology in France. Because there was no laboratory associated with the cha…

Wundt's laboratory at Leipzig in 1891
This article describes Wundt's laboratory at Leipzig in 1891 as viewed by a Belgian psychologist, J.J. Van Biervliet (1859-1945). Although few French-speaking psychologists worked in Wundt's laboratory, several of those who did reports wrote on how students were trained there. Van Biervliet decided to visit Wundt's laboratory at Leipzig in order to strengthen the foundation of his own laboratory at the University of Ghent and to become familiar w…
