Épisode #195: Après Piaget March 21st, 2013 Nicolas Gauvrit discute de la psychologie du développement (2ème partie).
Un article de Wikipédia, l'encyclopédie libre. Le scepticisme scientifique , nommé aussi scepticisme rationnel ou scepticisme contemporain , est une pratique et une position épistémologique qui remet en doute la véracité de certaines allégations par manque de preuves empiriques ou de reproductibilité.
