    \n\n\n \n\n\nRÉSUMÉ\n\n\nChildhood is a period of broad and protr
 acted immaturity resulting in massive limitations and imposing large costs
  on a caretaker. These limitations include poor control\, seemingly chaoti
 c behavior\, and very little planning\, all resulting in no self-reliance 
 and requiring extensive care. However\, there are also important benefits 
 of immaturity\, those that make development and adaptation possible. These
  include the importance of starting small (Elman\, Newport)\, perceptual n
 arrowing (Werker\, Kuhl)\, or tolerance to failure (Bjorklund). I propose 
 another important immaturity-based benefit – broad exploration and infor
 mation sampling early in development. Typically\, this broad exploration a
 nd information sampling have been attributed to early curiosity\, or non-i
 nstrumental value of information. I propose an alternative view\, suggesti
 ng that broad exploration and information sampling is a consequence of imm
 ature Working Memory-Attention system. I then present experimental and com
 putational evidence of how such system may subserve learning and cognitive
  development. Overall\, this research demonstrates how (paradoxically) the
  very limitations of the early cognition may support or even drive cogniti
 ve development.\n\n\n \n\n\nBIOGRAPHIE\n\n\nVladimir SLOUTSKY is Professo
 r of Psychology and Cognitive Science at the Ohio State University. A deve
 lopmental psychologist and cognitive scientist\, he studies how categories
  emerge in the course of development\, how they become lexicalized\, and h
 ow immature attention and memory subserve this process. A Fellow of Cognit
 ive Science Society\, he has authored over 200 scientific papers and chapt
 ers and received over $20 M in research funding.\n\n\n \n\n\nRÉFÉRENCES
