Face à un problème de raisonnement faut-il faire confiance à son intuition ou à la logique ? Voilà une des questions que se pose Wim De Neys, du Laboratoire de psychologie du développement et de l’éducation de l’enfant à Paris. Après un doctorat obtenu en 2003 à l’université de Louvain (Belgique), et plusieurs post-doctorats, Wim De Neys est recruté par le CNRS en 2009. Affecté d’abord au laboratoire CLLE à Toulouse, il entre en 2012 au LaPsyDÉ. Ses travaux s’inscrivent dans le champ de la psychologie du raisonnement. En combinant des techniques issues de la psychologie expérimentale, de l’imagerie cérébrale et de la physiologie, il montre que les individus sont pleinement conscients du caractère biaisé de leur jugement lorsqu’ils se laissent guider par leur intuition. Ses travaux apportent des perspectives originales aux recherches sur la mémoire temporaire de travail, les conflits cognitifs et les processus de pensée.
