“…The principal causes for these social difficulties are likely to be complex, including a variety of internal factors, such as cognitive, emotional, and physical status, and external circumstances, such as reduced social opportunities and limited support (Biddle et al, 1996;Bond & Godfrey, 1997;Chapman, 1997;Chapman et al, 1995;Chapman et al, 1997;Godfrey et al, 1991;Godfrey & Shum, 2000;Marsh, 1999;McDonald, 1992McDonald, , 1993McDonald, , 2000Ylvisaker, 1993). The major focus of this review is the role that impaired emotion perception may play in reducing social competence post TBI, and even more importantly, the extent to which this can be seen as a legitimate target for remediation.…”

While the cognitive disturbances that frequently follow severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) are relatively well understood, the ways in which these affect the psychosocial functioning of people with TBI are yet to be determined and have thus received little attention in treatment research. Growing evidence indicates that a significant proportion of individuals with TBI demonstrate an inability to recognize affective information from the face, voice, bodily movement, and posture. Because accurate interpretation of emotion in others is critical for the successful negotiation of social interactions, effective treatments are necessary. Until recently, however, there have been no rehabilitation efforts in this area. The present review examines the literature on emotion perception deficits in TBI and presents a theoretical rationale for targeted intervention. Several lines of research relevant to the remediation of emotion perception in people with TBI are considered. These include work on emotion perception remediation with other cognitively impaired populations, current neuropsychological models of emotion perception and underlying neural systems, and recent conceptualizations of remediation processes. The article concludes with a discussion of the importance of carrying out efforts to improve emotion perception within a contextualized framework in which the day-to-day relevance of training is clear to all recipients.

“…Decreased social competence can be due to declines in awareness of self and others, deficits in processing complex social situations, disorganized social responses, disinhibition, or inflexibility (Papero et al, 1993;Ylvisaker, 1993). These problems in social behavior are often associated with impaired executive functioning and prefrontal brain injury.…”

“…This includes aspects of phonology, morphology, and syntax. Semantic and pragmatic skills might not be problematic in isolated situations or brief interactions; however, such communication skills are often impaired in more demanding contexts (e.g., with increasing length of material to be understood or expressed, higher levels of language, faster rates of presentation, or more complex dynamics of interaction; Ylvisaker, 1993).…”

Assessing Children With Traumatic Brain Injury During Rehabilitation

et al. 1996

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Children with traumatic brain injuries (TBI) require a comprehensive, multidisciplinary evaluation during rehabilitation to promote recovery and to facilitate a smooth transition to home and school. This article summarizes the common consequences of TBI and reviews a process-oriented approach to assessing children with moderate to severe TBI during rehabilitation. An emphasis is placed on early and regular communication among rehabilitation specialists, family members, and educators. Such collaboration permits clear identification of functional abilities and increases the child's potential for a positive long-term outcome.

“…Language difficulties range from impaired motor-speech control to expressive and/or receptive language problems, which seriously affect discourse [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]. In particular, it is the effective use of language in social contexts, often referred to as pragmatics [3], which causes most difficulty in relation to effective community reintegration for people with brain injury.…”
