Maryse Lassonde

Maryse Lassonde is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Maryse Lassonde rather than just read about it. In short: Maryse Lassonde (born January 5, 1954) is a Canadian academic and neuropsychologist. She holds the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Neuropsychology at the Université de Montréal and the University Hospital Center Sainte-Justine researching brain disorders.

Key takeaways

Maryse Lassonde belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Maryse Lassonde to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Maryse Lassonde from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Maryse Lassonde (born January 5, 1954) is a Canadian academic and neuropsychologist. She holds the Canada Research Chair in Developmental Neuropsychology at the Université de Montréal and the University Hospital Center Sainte-Justine researching brain disorders. In 1993, she became President of the French Canadian Association for the Advancement of Sciences (ACFAS). In 1999, she was made a Knight (Chevalier) of the National Order of Quebec. In 1994, she was made a Fellow of the Canadian Psychological Association and in 1997, she became a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. She has received several awards, including the Marcel Vincent Prize (ACFAS) in 1998, the Noeil Mailloux Prize (Quebec Order of Psychologists, 2001) and the Adrien Pinard Prize (Quebec Association for Research in Psychology, SQRP, 2008). She was made an Officer of the Order of Canada (OC) in June 2012.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Maryse Lassonde

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Maryse Lassonde claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Maryse Lassonde before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Maryse Lassonde ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Maryse Lassonde

In research: Maryse Lassonde appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Maryse Lassonde in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Maryse Lassonde is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1954 births, Academic staff of the Université de Montréal, Canada Research Chairs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Maryse Lassonde outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
