The scientific uniqueness of the lab
The 2LPN lab specializes in the study of “behavioral dynamics”, the dynamics of human behavior referring to the factors that stimulate change in human behavior:
- biological/physiological factors
- psychological factors
- socio-cultural factors
- environmental factors
The aim is to understand the dynamics of human behavior using an integrative approach, i.e. integrating theories and concepts from psychology and neuroscience. This integrative approach presupposes cooperation between researchers belonging to different sub-disciplines. With this in mind, the research unit is organized around potentially cross-disciplinary themes, with each member able to participate in more than one theme according to his or her wishes and projects.
Lab teams
The lab is structured around four complementary teams :
- Team 1 – Development, education, learning (Leaders: Youssef Tazouti & Stéphanie Claudel-Valentin)
- Team 2 – Emotion, cognition, action (Leaders: Benoît Bolmont & Cécile Langlet)
- Team 3 – Inclusion, insertion, support (Leaders: Anne Pignault & Pascal Tisserant)
- Team 4 – Risk, activity, training (Leaders: Jérôme Dinet & Antonietta Specogna)
