Study of body schema in a population of children psychologically upset

Abstract

To know the level of body scheme integration of these children in reference to specific apprenticeships seems useful in trying to analyze factors that can make learning more difficult. The integration of the body scheme is defined as the capacity for organising a variety of figurative elements in space which constitute an imaginary representation of the human body. Consequently, this study reflects the congnitive capacity of the body scheme, used only for work purposes, and it does not-imply a separation between the coginitive and affective processes in the childs development.
