“…Thirteen articles addressed emotional processing, ten of which (77%) indicated that the patients showed a deterioration in this domain compared to the healthy controls (Kumfor et al, 2014a ; Insch et al, 2015 ; Torres et al, 2015 ; Sava et al, 2017 , 2019 ; Daley et al, 2018 ; Antonio Garcia-Casal et al, 2019 ; Arroyo-Anlló et al, 2019 ; Dourado et al, 2019 ; Hayashi and Terada, 2021 ). However, two studies showed a similar performance in both samples (patients and healthy controls) (Garcia-Rodriguez et al, 2009 ; Guaita et al, 2009 ).…”

BackgroundNeurodegenerative diseases might affect social cognition in various ways depending on their components (theory of mind, emotional processing, attribution bias, and social perception) and the subtype of dementia they cause. This review aims to explore this difference in cognitive function among individuals with different aetiologies of dementia.MethodsThe following databases were explored: MEDLINE via PubMed, Cochrane Library, Lilacs, Web of Science, and PsycINFO. We selected studies examining social cognition in individuals with neurodegenerative diseases in which dementia was the primary symptom that was studied. The neurodegenerative diseases included Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease and frontotemporal lobar degeneration. The search yielded 2,803 articles.ResultsOne hundred twenty-two articles were included in the present review. The summarised results indicate that people with neurodegenerative diseases indeed have deficits in social cognitive performance. Both in populations with Alzheimer's disease and in populations with frontotemporal dementia, we found that emotional processing was strongly affected. However, although theory of mind impairment could also be observed in the initial stages of frontotemporal dementia, in Alzheimer's disease it was only appreciated when performing highly complex task or in advanced stages of the disease.ConclusionsEach type of dementia has a differential profile of social cognition deterioration. This review could provide a useful reference for clinicians to improve detection and diagnosis, which would undoubtedly guarantee better interventions.Systematic Review Registrationhttps://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/display_record.php?ID=CRD42020152562, PROSPERO, identifier: CRD42020152562.

“…2018), who evaluated the visual processing of emotional faces by using two different tests (refer to Table 2), obtained the same results: the performances of aMCI (N = 14) and naMCI (N = 18) were similar to the HC group. The most recent study, conducted by Hayashi et al (2021), followed the same line and found that the MCI participants (n = 92) did not differ in feelings of anger and sadness in comparison with the HC group. On the contrary, four further studies underline the worse performance of MCI patients compared to the HC group in emotion recognition tasks.…”

“…In this review, eight studies out of 15 reported homogeneous results (Bediou et al, 2012;Richard-Mornas et al, 2012;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015;Park et al, 2017;McCade et al, 2018;García-Casal et al, 2019;Hayashi et al, 2021). Specifically, 4 of them showed similar performances in emotion recognition and processing between MCI patients and healthy subjects: Bediou et al (2012) found out that patients with aMCI (N = 10) showed no deficits compared with the HC group in either of the two tests adopted (refer to Table 2).…”

“…On the contrary, some of the studies obtained homogeneous results: a part of them showed MCI's worse performances on emotion recognition and processing tasks (Richard-Mornas et al, 2012;Sarabia-Cobo et al, 2015;Yang et al, 2015;García-Casal et al, 2019).

Emotion recognition and processing in patients with mild cognitive impairment: A systematic review

The purpose of this study was to investigate emotion recognition and processing in patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in order to update the state of current literature on this important but undervalued topic. We identified 15 papers published between 2012 and 2022 that meet the inclusion criteria. Paper search, selection, and extraction followed the PRISMA guidelines. We used a narrative synthesis approach in order to report a summary of the main findings taken from all papers. The results collected are still ambiguous: some studies did not find any differences between MCI and healthy controls (HC) groups in emotion recognition and processing, and other results reported emotion-specific deficits in emotion recognition regarding MCI patients (both regarding negative and neutral emotions). It is essential to underline that these findings could not be generalized to the whole MCI population due to the heterogeneous use of measures and composition of the sample. This does not allow us to make a comprehensive comparison between the results. Our suggestion for future research is to align the results using the same type of tests and emotion recognition assessment.

“…Such a deficit may lead to a misunderstanding of the social behavior of others and interfere with the social function of an individual ( Behere, 2015 ; Lee et al, 2020 ). The deficits in facial expression recognition have been found to be associated with depression and other mental illnesses ( Cotter et al, 2018 ; Hayashi et al, 2021 ).…”

Objective: Considerable evidence has shown that facial expression recognition ability and cognitive function are impaired in patients with depression. We aimed to investigate the relationship between facial expression recognition and cognitive function in patients with depression.Methods: A total of 51 participants (i.e., 31 patients with depression and 20 healthy control subjects) underwent facial expression recognition tests, measuring anger, fear, disgust, sadness, happiness, and surprise. The Chinese version of the MATRICS Consensus Cognitive Battery (MCCB), which assesses seven cognitive domains, was used.Results: When compared with a control group, there were differences in the recognition of the expressions of sadness (p = 0.036), happiness (p = 0.041), and disgust (p = 0.030) in a depression group. In terms of cognitive function, the scores of patients with depression in the Trail Making Test (TMT; p < 0.001), symbol coding (p < 0.001), spatial span (p < 0.001), mazes (p = 0.007), the Brief Visuospatial Memory Test (BVMT; p = 0.001), category fluency (p = 0.029), and continuous performance test (p = 0.001) were lower than those of the control group, and the difference was statistically significant. The accuracy of sadness and disgust expression recognition in patients with depression was significantly positively correlated with cognitive function scores. The deficits in sadness expression recognition were significantly correlated with the TMT (p = 0.001, r = 0.561), symbol coding (p = 0.001, r = 0.596), maze (p = 0.015, r = 0.439), and the BVMT (p = 0.044, r = 0.370). The deficits in disgust expression recognition were significantly correlated with impairments in the TMT (p = 0.005, r = 0.501) and symbol coding (p = 0.001, r = 0.560).Conclusion: Since cognitive function is impaired in patients with depression, the ability to recognize negative facial expressions declines, which is mainly reflected in processing speed, reasoning, problem-solving, and memory.
