Research on multilingual acquisition has investigated various combinations of languages to identify the factors determining how learners express motion. Our research examines the semantics of motion expression in learners whose first language (L1) exhibits more variation than their foreign language (L2/L3). The present study compares upward motion expression in L1Russian instructed learners of L2English and L3French at an elementary level of proficiency. Drawing on second language acquisition (SLA) scenarios reported in previous research literature, we examine the extent to which the learners approximate target patterns. L2/L3 users and L1 control groups orally described animated clips (Hendriks \& Hickmann, 2011) showing animals performing voluntary upward motion. Results show that, despite the use of neutral generics, L3French learners successfully approximated a verb-framed pattern typical of L1French. L3French learners also showed the emergence of additional target motion components. L2English learners heavily relied on generic neutral verbs, which were used only occasionally by L1 speakers of English and never by L1 speakers of Russian. We argue that the learners\’ approximation of a target system depends on the degree of overlap between generic means of motion expression available in a target language and its typical target means of motion expression.

When we follow a route in an unknown city, we build a mental representation of the environment, which is stored in long-term memory and could be used later in different kind of tasks like recognizing the place, redoing the route, or drawing a map. In this experiment, we focus on the cognitive resources that are used to build and then manipulate that mental representation, and the effect of aging on the spatial representation. Previous research has demonstrated age-related decline in the use of spatial representation, but the spatial representation is complex and requires the integration of many components that may show differential susceptibility to aging. Different tasks were used to assess the effect of aging on different components of the spatial representation. The video of an unfamiliar route in a city near Paris was projected to the young and older participants twice. After the presentation, four tasks were used to assess the mental representation of the participants (visual recognition task, direction decision task, order decision task, and statement verification). Different tests were used to identify the factors that explain individual differences in the performance. The results show that older adults have poorer performance than younger adults in the 4 tasks. Analyses of mediation show that the effect of aging on visual recognition task would be explained by the impairment of episodic memory. Moreover, the effect of aging on the direction task would be explained by the impairment of working memory.

Les faux souvenirs sont classiquement \étudi\és avec le paradigme DRM (Deese, 1959\ ; Roediger \& McDermott, 1995). Dans ce paradigme, les sujets doivent rappeler et/ou reconna\ître des listes de mots. Les mots des listes sont tous li\és \à un item critique non pr\ésent\é. Les sujets font des faux souvenirs en rappelant et/ou reconnaissant \à tort l\’item critique. Dans beaucoup d\’\études, les personnes \âg\ées font plus de faux souvenirs que les jeunes adultes avec ce paradigme. Afin d\’avoir un paradigme plus \écologique que le paradigme DRM, nous avons utilis\é des inf\érences pr\édictives qui sont des anticipations de la suite possible d\’un texte qu\’on est en train de lire. Par exemple, lorsque nous lisons la phrase \«\ le fragile vase de porcelaine a \ét\é jet\é contre le mur\ \», nous faisons l\’inf\érence pr\édictive que le vase est cass\é m\ême si cela n\’est pas \écrit dans le texte. Apr\ès avoir lu ou entendu les textes, les sujets faisaient des faux souvenirs en rappelant et/ou reconnaissant \à tort les inf\érences pr\édictives comme \étant pr\ésent\ées dans les textes. Les personnes \âg\ées faisaient plus de faux souvenirs que les jeunes adultes lorsque les textes \étaient pr\ésent\és auditivement, mais autant que les jeunes adultes lorsque les textes \étaient pr\ésent\és visuellement. Ainsi, le taux de faux souvenirs chez les personnes \âg\ées d\épend de la modalit\é de pr\ésentation contrairement aux jeunes adultes. M\ême si elles ont parfois des performances moins bonnes que les jeunes adultes, les personnes \âg\ées peuvent avoir des capacit\és mn\ésiques pr\éserv\ées dans des situations proches de la vie quotidienne comme la lecture de textes.
