Could we use parent report as a valid proxy of child report on anxiety, depression, and distress? : a systematic investigation of father–mother–child triads in children successfully treated for leukemia
(Wiley, 2017-10-19)Background Systematic assessment of emotional distress is recommended in after care. Yet, it is unclear if parent report may be used as a proxy of child report. The aim of this study was to assess agreements and differences and explore possible ... -
Cross-sectional analysis of picture descriptions of healthy young and older adults
(Université de Montréal, 2019)It is poorly understood whether and how normal aging affects different aspects of connected speech production, such as fluency, informativity, efficiency, and vocabulary use. The present study crosssectionally investigates the effects of age on a broad ... -
Dating aggression and observed behaviors in a nonconflictual situation : the role of negative anticipation
(SAGE, 2021-08-03)Past observational studies highlight meaningful behavioral differences between aggressive and nonaggressive couples during conflict interactions. However, research is needed on how aggressive couples communicate in other, nonconflictual interactional ... -

(2016-09-07)Despite the well-documented importance of parental sensitivity for child development, there is a lack of consensus regarding how best to assess it. We investigated the factor structure of maternal caregiving behavior as assessed at 12 months by the ... -
Deformation-based shape analysis of the hippocampus in the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia and Alzheimer’s disease
(Elsevier, 2020-06-03)Background Increasing evidence shows that the semantic variant of primary progressive aphasia (svPPA) is characterized by hippocampal atrophy. However, less is known about disease-related morphological hippocampal changes. The goal of the present study ... -
Development and inter-rater reliability of a tool assessing hypnotic communication behaviours adopted by nurses caring for children with cancer : The Sainte-Justine Hypnotic Communication Assessment Scale
(Elsevier, 2017-11-21)Background Several studies in pediatric oncology have shown the successful effects of using hypnotic communication techniques (HCTech) during painful medical procedures. Since no studies assessed the precise use of these techniques with a validated ... -
