“…Finally, empathy allows us to respond to the thoughts and feelings of others with an appropriate emotion ( Dennis et al, 2012 ; Byom and Mutlu, 2013 ; Neumann et al, 2022 ). Childhood is a key time in the development of these skills that people need to interact and function successfully in society ( Bulgarelli et al, 2022 ). However, traumatic brain injury (TBI) at childhood is a leading cause of disability ( Dewan et al, 2016 ) that have detrimental effects on cognition, emotion, behavior ( Genova et al, 2019 ) and social functioning ( Bedell and Dumas, 2004 ).…”

BackgroundSocial cognitive deficits are common after traumatic brain injury (TBI). The participant in this single-case experimental design (SCED) was 7 years old when he sustained a severe TBI. After 2 years in rehabilitation, he continues to show deficits in social cognition.ObjectiveTo determine the effectiveness of three interventions, each aimed at improving a behavior altered by social cognition deficits. These behaviors were: (1) expression of positive emotions, (2) reacting to changes in plans, and (3) greeting classmates.MethodAn A-B-A’ design was used for each behavior. In addition, each behavior was targeted with a rehabilitation program applied over 10 sessions.ResultsFor the first behavior, changes between phases B-A’ (NAP = 0.712) and A-A’ (NAP = 0.864) indicated improvements in the child’s ability to express positive emotions. In the second behavior, changes in the intensity of reactions between phases B and A’ (NAP = 0.815) and A vs. A’ (NAP = 0.834) indicated that the child adapted to changes in a plan and to unexpected situations in a more adaptive way. For the third behavior, changes in the number of greetings between phases A and B (NAP = 0.883) and A vs. A’ (NAP = 0.844) suggested that during the third phase of the study, the participant fully acquired the habit of greeting peers and increased his interactions with others.ConclusionWhile the participant showed improvements in all three targeted behaviors, due to the complexity of the third behavior, it is recommended that in future research, the intervention targeting social interactions should be applied over a longer timeframe to ensure that improvements are more stable in the long term.

This chapter explores social cognition development in infancy and childhood, focusing on key milestones such as theory of mind, false beliefs, and emotional knowledge. It highlights the role of joint attention and social cues in communication and learning. The chapter emphasizes the transition from implicit to explicit understanding of false beliefs during early childhood. It discusses the interplay between cognitive development and sociocultural influences and addresses neurodevelopmental disorders linked to social cognitive deficits, detailing defining features and psychological implications. This comprehensive resource offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and educators, promoting healthy social interactions and psychological well-being.
