Résumé
Cet article propose une synthèse des principales données expérimentales à propos des capacités sociocognitives des adolescents, obtenues sur le plan comportemental et cérébral. Il se cible sur un ensemble de concepts voisins de la mentalisation (théorie de l’esprit, empathie, traitement des visages et des aspects liés à soi) qui ont l’avantage de permettre une opérationnalisation de ses différentes dimensions. Il propose que l’adolescent évolue vers une plus grande spécialisation et intégration de certaines dimensions spécifiques de la mentalisation. Des pistes de recherches futures sont discutées.

Abstract
This article summarizes the main experimental data that have examined social cognition capacities in adolescence, from a behavioural and a neuroscientific vantage. It focuses on several mechanisms (i.e. theory of mind, empathy, facial and self-related processes) that have been pointed out as relevant for operationalizing the dimensions of the mentalization construct. We propose that adolescence may be characterized as a relevant period for the specialization and integration of particular mentalization dimensions. We conclude in underlying future research avenue.
