Brief Summary:
Hypothesis:
Individuals presenting with prenatal alcohol exposure (PEA) show emotional abilities deficits, and imbalance between the two systems involved in decision-making according to dual-process models, namely an under-activated reflective system (involved in deliberate behaviors) and an over-activated affective-automatic one (involved in impulsive behaviors).
Primary objective:
To explore performance (as a percentage of correct answers) in an emotional facial expression decoding task in PEA participants compared to controls without alcohol disorder.
Detailed Description:
Each participant will undergo 2 visits :
First visit :
* Checking inclusion and non-inclusion criteria
* Note of information and consent form
* Record of concomitant treatments and anamnestic elements
* Alcohol, Tobacco, and Toxic Consumption
* Urinary Toxicity Test for Control Groups
* Laterality test (Hecaen, 1984)
* Brief visual and auditory acuity test
* Standardized psychiatric interview (Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview - MINI)
Second visit = Experimental testing
* State-Trait Anxiety Inventory, Beck Depression Inventory, Inventory of Interpersonal Problems, Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS-20).
* Participant installation and testing: 6 behavioral tasks on a computer (also used to collect responses, except for task 2, see details below) :
Task 1 (MAIN): Test for recognition of facial emotions Task 2: 'Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test' (Decoding of complex emotional states) Task 3: Emotional evaluation of natural scenes Task 4: Target detection (measure of attentional bias towards alcohol-related stimuli) Task 5: Go / No-Go evaluating the interactions between inhibition processes and auto-affective system Task 6: "N-back" evaluating the interactions between working memory and automatic-affective system
