Théodule Ribot est l’un des premiers à penser les rapports entre mémoire et émotions. Au sein de ce qu’il appelle la « mémoire affective », il décèle une mémoire spécifique des émotions. Il s’ensuit un débat sur l’existence, la définition et le contenu de cette mémoire. Après les propositions initiales de Ribot, on observe l’émergence progressive d’un consensus : même s’il est possible de distinguer la mémoire affective de la mémoire intellectuelle, tout souvenir présente à des degrés variables (...) des éléments intellectuels et des éléments affectifs. Si, dans le cadre académique, ces débats sont tombés dans l’oubli, on peut établir une continuité conceptuelle avec la recherche scientifique actuelle, qui gagnerait à relire cette littérature centenaire.

Le cœur a ses raisons que la raison ne connaît pas...Mais que serait une Raison sans cœur? Un pur formalisme désaffecté! Rompant avec le logicisme et l'associationnisme de son temps, Ribot refuse de voir dans la logique des sentiments un déchet ou une scorie. Il la décrit comme une organisation originaire de la pensée en tant que celle-ci est animée par un jeu d'instincts, de tendances, de passions, de désirs. Mais la logique des sentiments ne se limite pas à (...) sa fonction de projection ou de rationalisation des valeurs subjectives à coefficient émotionnel vital. Elle est aussi à l'œuvre au cœur de l'imagination créatrice et de son élan. Ainsi assistons-nous, dans cet essai, à l'entrée en force du point du vue dynamique dans l'étude des productions mentales. Le philosophe, le psychologue, le psychanalyste peuvent toujours y apurer leur savoir. (shrink)

Deciding between different voluntary movements implies a continuous control of the competition between potential actions. Many theories postulate a leading role of prefrontal cortices in this executive function, but strong evidence exists that a motor region like the primary motor cortex is also involved, possibly via inhibitory mechanisms. This was already shown during the pre-movement decision period, but not after movement onset. For this pilot experiment we designed a new task compatible with the dynamics of post-onset control to study the (...) silent period duration, a pause in electromyographic activity after single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation that reflects inhibitory mechanisms. A careful analysis of the SP during the ongoing movement indicates a gradual increase in inhibitory mechanisms with the level of competition, consistent with an increase in mutual inhibition between alternative movement options. However, we also observed a decreased SP duration for high-competition trials associated with change-of-mind inflections in their trajectories. Our results suggest a new post-onset adaptive process that consists in a transient reduction of GABAergic inhibition within M1 for highly conflicting situations. We propose that this reduced inhibition softens the competition between concurrent motor options, thereby favoring response vacillation, an adaptive strategy that proved successful at improving behavioral performance.
