Impact des émotions sur les performances
Emotions play a crucial role in cognitive processes, particularly in learning tasks. Furthermore, several studies in neurosciences have shown that emotion is closely related to cognitive processes. They have also determined many different forms of intelligence other than the rational intelligence; one of them is the form having an emotional dimension which influences the learning processes, namely emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is a significant factor in academic and professional success. Under the light of these results, the computer scientists will, in their turn, try to focus on the emotional factor in computer systems and more particularly in those dedicated to learning. The integration of emotional intelligence in these systems, specifically in Intelligent Tutoring System (ITS), will enable them to recognise learner’s emotions and improve his/her performances. In this thesis, our main aim is to develop a learning strategy which promotes and enhances memorization by children.  To achieve this aim, we developed an English web course and a virtual tutor using multimedia resources such as voice pitch, music, images, and gestures to induce emotion in the learner. We conducted an experiment to test the effectiveness of some emotional strategies and assessed the impact of aroused emotions on the ability of memorizing knowledge to be acquired by the learner. The results of this experimental study have shown that implicit induction of emotions has a significant influence on learner’s performances. Moreover, no effective strategy can be applied to all learners at the same time. However, the efficiency of a strategy depends mainly on the learner’s behavioral profile based on his temperament.
