He was one of the first people to study a group of problems relating to dyslexia and disability. Considering the development of children considered to be weak, Zazzo proposed the concept of \"oligophrenic heterochrony\" in order to show that this development, compared with that of normal children, occurred at various speeds, according to the particular psychobiological sector concerned.  The majority of research which Zazzo produced between 1950 and 1980 centered on what he regarded as \"the principal problem of psychology\"—that of the identity: how does a person's psyche build itself?  The fields in which he worked were various attempts to bring answers to this question."],"facts":[{"key":"born","label":"Born","values":[{"text":"27 October 1910","date":"1910-10-27"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P569"}},{"key":"birthplace","label":"Place of birth","values":[{"text":"15th arrondissement of Paris","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q191066"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P19"}},{"key":"died","label":"Died","values":[{"text":"20 September 1995","date":"1995-09-20"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P570"}},{"key":"deathplace","label":"Place of death","values":[{"text":"Saint-Maur-des-Fossés","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q193313"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P20"}},{"key":"citizenship","label":"Citizenship","values":[{"text":"France","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q142"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P27"}},{"key":"occupation","label":"Occupation","values":[{"text":"psychologist","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q212980"},{"text":"professeur des universités","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28004591"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P106"}},{"key":"education","label":"Education","values":[{"text":"University of Paris","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q209842"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P69"}},{"key":"spouse","label":"Spouse","values":[{"text":"Bianka Zazzo","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2900845"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P26"}},{"key":"positions","label":"Positions held","values":[{"text":"president (1974–1975)","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q30461","start":"1974","end":"1975"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P39"}},{"key":"awards","label":"Awards","values":[{"text":"honorary doctor of the University of Sherbrooke","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q42309358","date":"1985"},{"text":"honorary doctor of the Université libre de Bruxelles","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q28493923","date":"1979"},{"text":"Prix de l'Union rationaliste","wikidata":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q65935809","date":"1978"}],"source":{"label":"Wikidata","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219#P166"}}],"office":null,"sections":[],"cited":[],"cited_from":null,"videos":[],"last_reviewed":null,"organizations":[],"same_as":["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Zazzo","https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219"],"faq":[{"q":"When was René Zazzo born?","a":"René Zazzo was born on 27 October 1910 in 15th arrondissement of Paris."},{"q":"What positions has René Zazzo held?","a":"Positions held by René Zazzo include: president (1974–1975)."},{"q":"Where did René Zazzo study?","a":"René Zazzo was educated at University of Paris."}],"related":[{"name":"Hosni Mubarak","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/hosni-mubarak"},{"name":"Gamal Abdel Nasser","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/gamal-abdel-nasser"},{"name":"Mohamed Morsi","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohamed-morsi"},{"name":"Mohamed Naguib","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/mohamed-naguib"},{"name":"Abdul Rahman Arif","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/abdul-rahman-arif"},{"name":"Muhammad Najib ar-Ruba'i","url":"https://diginpl.com/people/muhammad-najib-ar-ruba-i"}],"places_in":[],"nearby":[],"image":null,"sources":[{"label":"Wikipedia (English): René Zazzo","url":"https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%C3%A9_Zazzo","license":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/"},{"label":"Wikidata item Q2527219","url":"https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q2527219","license":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"}],"license":{"text":"CC BY-SA 4.0","url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/","facts":"https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/"},"attribution":"Text from the Wikipedia article René Zazzo, licensed under CC BY-SA 4.0.
