“…In some studies, TBI persons were not impaired in the nonmental/physical/logical inferences, no faux pas stories, and logical stories (4,27,36,39,46). On the other hand, individuals with TBI were impaired in the non-mental/physical inferences and no faux pas stories (27,38,41,45). Impairments of persons with TBI in the mental and non-mental inferences indicated that these individuals were not just impaired in ToM, but in inferring ability (38).…”

Context: Theory of mind (ToM) is one of the social cognition skills. Deficits of ToM in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) impact adversely on their social functioning and generally, their life style. Objectives:The current study aimed to assess ToM skill among adults with TBI. Data Sources: The terms of traumatic brain injury, head injury, closed head injury, head trauma, social cognition, theory of mind, mind reading, and adult were searched in databases of PubMed, PubMed Central, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Taylor and Francis Online, Willey Online Library, and Springer. Data Selection:The inclusion criteria were the recruitment of adult subjects with TBI and relevance to ToM skills. Exclusion criteria were relevance to the other social cognition (other than ToM) and non-social cognition skills in TBI, and relation to ToM skills in children and adolescents with TBI.Data Extraction: Type of study, sample size, task name, type of task, control question, and results were the main categories considered in the current review. Results:The current review study covered 35 articles about different types of ToM impairment in individuals with TBI. The majority of the studies were case-control comparisons on ToM in TBI populations regardless of the lesion location, including story-based tasks. TBI patients are impaired in mental state inference (ToM), and non-mental state inference. Conclusion:Patients with TBI were impaired in mental tasks (ToM) and non-mental tasks (more in non-mental verbal tasks compared with non-verbal ones), which indicated that persons with TBI had no special impairment in ToM skills.

“…Impaired performance in ToM tests has been reported in patients with TBI (Bibby & McDonald, 2005;Channon & Crawford, 2000;Channon et al, 2005;Milders et al, 2003Milders et al, , 2006. Although few studies investigated the association between impairments in ToM and behavioral changes following brain injury, there are indications supporting such a relationship.…”

Although the adverse consequences of changes in social behavior following traumatic brain injury (TBI) are well documented, relatively little is known about possible underlying neuropsychological deficits. Following a model originally developed for social behavior deficits in schizophrenia, we investigated whether impairments in emotion recognition, understanding of other people's intentions ("theory of mind"), and cognitive flexibility soon after first TBI or 1 year later were associated with self and proxy ratings of behavior following TBI. Each of the three functions was assessed with two separate tests, and ratings of behavior were collected on three questionnaires. Patients with TBI (n 5 33) were impaired in emotion recognition, "theory of mind," and cognitive flexibility compared with matched orthopedic controls (n 5 34). Proxy ratings showed increases in behavioral problems 1 year following injury in the TBI group but not in the control group. However, test performance was not associated with questionnaire data. Severity of the impairments in emotion recognition, understanding intention, and flexibility were unrelated to the severity of behavioral problems following TBI. These findings failed to confirm the used model for social behavior deficits and may cast doubt on the alleged link between deficits in emotion recognition or theory of mind and social functioning.

Exploration of a new tool for assessing emotional inferencing after traumatic brain injury

Objective: To explore validity of an assessment tool under development-the Emotional Inferencing from Stories Test (EIST). This measure is being designed to assess the ability of people with traumatic brain injury (TBI) to make inferences about the emotional state of others solely from contextual cues. Test-retest reliability scores for the EIST were adequate. Methods and Procedures Conclusions:Both versions of the EIST were found to be sensitive to deficits in emotional inferencing. After further development, the EIST may provide clinicians valuable information for intervention planning.
