Arnaud Roy serves as Professor of Child Neuropsychology at the University of Angers within the Faculty of Letters, Languages and Human Sciences, Department of Psychology. He concurrently directs the Learning Disabilities Reference Center at Nantes University Hospital, maintaining an active clinical-academic integration. His institutional affiliations span multiple international research partnerships across Brazil, Lebanon, Morocco, and Tunisia.
Specializing in child neuropsychology, Professor Roy investigates executive functions through two complementary research axes: developmental assessment focusing on cultural influences, poverty, and digital exposure; and clinical applications examining executive dysfunction in neurodevelopmental disorders, brain injuries, and psychiatric conditions. His work emphasizes ecological validity through tools like the FÉE Battery and BRIEF questionnaires.
Analysis of his 15 most recent Q1 publications reveals consistent focus on executive function assessment across diverse pediatric populations, with growing emphasis on cross-cultural validation and transdiagnostic patterns. His research increasingly integrates caregiver and teacher reports with performance-based measures to capture real-world functional impacts.
- Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches (2014)
- Doctoral thesis: Très Bien avec Félicitations du jury (2007)
- Multiple doctoral fellowships from Région Pays de la Loire and disease-specific associations
- International research grants supporting cross-cultural studies
Professor Roy has supervised 11 doctoral students to completion, all now practicing in clinical or academic settings. His research program benefits from sustained funding through regional grants, hospital collaborations, and international partnerships. The Psychology Laboratory of Pays de la Loire (LPPL) provides infrastructure for his work on cognitive-behavioral regulation across neurodevelopmental contexts.
His laboratory conducts multidisciplinary research integrating neuropsychology, developmental psychology, and clinical practice. Current projects examine screen exposure effects on executive development, cultural adaptations of assessment tools, and longitudinal outcomes in rare neurogenetic disorders.
