Abstract
Trois groupes d’adolescents issus d’un milieu urbain ont été soumis, selon différents modes de présentation de directives, à une expérience fondée sur la vision binoculaire et sur le mode dichotique d’écoute, dans laquelle ils devaient choisir entre la langue anglaise et la langue française. Aucune différence significative n’existe entre les réactions aux trois directives de même qu’entre les réponses effectuées et celles prévues à partir d’un test de familiarité. Par contre, la comparaison de ces résultats avec ceux qui ont été obtenus dans deux autres études, portant sur des groupes semi-ruraux et urbains, fait ressortir des différences significatives entre les groupes ruraux seulement en ce qui concerne la familiarité avec les mots et les réponses effectuées selon la vision binoculaire.
Three groups of adolescents from an urban milieu were presented with various levels of instructions to tasks involving visual stimuli (binocular vision) and dichotic listening, and were given a choice of language — English (majority language) or French (minority language) to which to attend. No significant differences were found between performances to the three levels of instructions, nor between responses to these instructions and predictions based on a test of familiarity of the stimuli used. However, in comparing these results with those of two other studies of semi-rural and urban subject groups, the author notes that significant differences were found only between rural groups and only with regard to word familiarity and visual binocularity responses.
