L’objectif général de ce travail de thèse était d’étudier la possibilité d’améliorer le fonctionnement cognitif (mémoire de travail, mémoire épisodique, vitesse de traitement, fonctions exécutives) et la santé psychologique (estime de soi, plainte mnésique, satisfaction de vie) lors du vieillissement grâce à la pratique des activités de loisir. Pour cela, quatre programmes utilisant les activités de loisir, allant du plus unimodal au plus multimodal, ont été conçus et proposés à des participants âgés. Leurs scores à différentes mesures ont été évalués avant et après les interventions et comparés à ceux de groupes contrôles. Les résultats mettent en évidence que globalement ces programmes permettaient l’amélioration des performances cognitives ainsi que des transferts sur la santé psychologique, sauf l’entraînement unimodal (i.e., spécifique). / The main objective of this thesis was to test the possibility to improve cognitive functioning (working memory, episodic memory, speed of processing, executive functions) and psychological health (self-esteem, memory complaint, satisfaction of life) with leisure activities during aging. The present work was based on four programs using leisure activities, from unimodal to multimodal composition including pretests and posttests and compared to control groups. Globally, results show that the programs heterogeneously improve cognitive performances and provide evidence of benefits transfer to psychological health, except for the unimodal program. Overall, results show that unimodal cognitive training only improve cognitive functioning (Experience 1), whereas playful and multimodal interventions improve psychological health and influence cognitive performance (Experiences 2, 3, et 4). Eventually, our results show that leisure activities during lifespan are associated with a better psychological health (Experiment 3), improve subjective well-being and help to better adapt to ageing. This work supports the idea that leisure activities during life span are in line with psychological health. It also highlights that multimodal cognitive interventions contribute to successful ageing more than unimodal programs.
