“…Before leaving this discussion of the neuropsychology of emotion perception deficits in TBI, it is important to acknowledge that impairment of "nonsocial cognitive processes" (a term used by Adolphs and others in research on social cognition- Adolphs, 1999Adolphs, , 2003Adolphs, , 2006Brüne et al, 2007;Decety & Jackson, 2004;Satpute & Lieberman, 2006), such as attention, learning, information processing speed, cognitive flexibility, and awareness of deficits, are likely to contribute to the failure of those with TBI to perceive emotional cues accurately and efficiently (Lezak, 1995;McDonald, 2003;McDonald et al, 2006;Prigatano, 1999;Sohlberg & Mateer, 2001;Trower, 1980). There is some evidence for an association between executive function and emotion perception in TBI (Bornhofen & McDonald, in press;McDonald et al, 2006;McDonald & Saunders, 2005).…”

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.

“…Clinical studies highlight that across age-groups, emotion recognition is an important mediator of social success and well-being (Brune, Abdel-Hamid, Lehmkamper, & Sonntag, 2007;Jacobs et al, 2008), whilst non-clinical studies document correlations with depression and relationship success in supposedly healthy young adults (Carton, Kessler, & Pape, 1999). Much literature on emotion-related cognition in older adults discusses their superior performance relative to younger adults, e.g., emotion regulation is maintained or improved (Mather & Carstensen, 2005).…”

Is Age-related Decline in Vocal Emotion Identification an Artefact of Labelling Cognitions?

Evidence has emerged that older adults find it more difficult to interpret prosodic emotions than younger adults. However, typical tasks involve labelling-related cognitions over and above emotion perception per se. Accordingly, we aimed to determine if age-related difficulty in prosodic emotion labelling extended to discrimination, which is more closely related to emotion perception per se. For this purpose, 45 younger adults (mean age 20 years, 2 males/43 females) and 45 older adults (mean age 71 years, 16 males/29 females) were recruited. In one task, participants heard pairs of sentences and were asked to indicate whether they were spoken with the same emotional intonational or not. In a second task, they heard sentences with intonation conveying a question or statement, and indicated whether the non-emotional intonation patterns matched or not. Older adults' performance consistently fell below that of younger adults. Older adults may have a generic prosodic decoding deficit, regardless of the end function of the prosody.

“…Some studies showing ToM difficulties have tried to control for the influence of cognitive functioning in ToM (see Brune, 2005;, for a review). Indeed, some authors have controlled for general cognitive functioning by taking into account cognitive variables such as attention (Randall, Corcoran, Day, & Bentall, 2003), executive functioning (Brune, 2005;Brune, Abdel-Hamid, Lehmkamper, & Sonntag, 2007;Champagne-Lavau, Charest, Blouin, & Rodriguez, 2008;Janssen, Krabbendam, Jolles, & van Os, 2003;Langdon, Coltheart, Ward, & Catts, 2001;Langdon, Coltheart, Ward, & Catts, 2002;Mitchley, Berber, Gray, Brooks, & Livingston, 1998), autobiographical memory (Corcoran & Frith, 2003), and general picture sequencing (Harrington, Langdon, Siegert, & McClure, 2005;Langdon, Coltheart, & Ward, 2006;Langdon et al, 1997Langdon et al, , 2002.…”

Introduction. Many studies have reported that individuals with schizophrenia (SZ) may have impaired social cognition, resulting in communication disorders and theory of mind (ToM) impairments. However, the classical tasks used to assess impaired ToM ability are too complex. The aim of this study was to assess ToM ability using both a classical task and a referential communication task that reproduces a ''natural'' conversation situation. Methods. Thirty-one participants with schizophrenia and 29 matched healthy participants were tested individually on a referential communication task and on a standard ToM task. Results and Conclusion. The main results showed that SZ participants had difficulties using reference markers and attributing mental states in both ToM tasks. Contrary to healthy participants, they exhibited a tendency to ineffectively mark the information they used (indefinite articles for old information and/or definite articles for new information) and had problems using information they shared with the experimenter.
