Facial emotion recognition in adolescents with psychotic-like experiences: a school-based sample from the general population

et al. 2012

BackgroundPsychotic symptoms, also termed psychotic-like experiences (PLEs) in the absence of psychotic disorder, are common in adolescents and are associated with increased risk of schizophrenia-spectrum illness in adulthood. At the same time, schizophrenia is associated with deficits in social cognition, with deficits particularly documented in facial emotion recognition (FER). However, little is known about the relationship between PLEs and FER abilities, with only one previous prospective study examining the association between these abilities in childhood and reported PLEs in adolescence. The current study was a cross-sectional investigation of the association between PLEs and FER in a sample of Irish adolescents.MethodThe Adolescent Psychotic-Like Symptom Screener (APSS), a self-report measure of PLEs, and the Penn Emotion Recognition-40 Test (Penn ER-40), a measure of facial emotion recognition, were completed by 793 children aged 10–13 years.ResultsChildren who reported PLEs performed significantly more poorly on FER (β=−0.03, p=0.035). Recognition of sad faces was the major driver of effects, with children performing particularly poorly when identifying this expression (β=−0.08, p=0.032).ConclusionsThe current findings show that PLEs are associated with poorer FER. Further work is needed to elucidate causal relationships with implications for the design of future interventions for those at risk of developing psychosis.

“…Indeed, evidence from clinical groups [e.g., TBI (Watts & Douglas, 2006), schizophrenia (Hooker & Park, 2002;Kee et al, 2003;Morrison & Bellack, 1981;Mueser et al, 1996;Sergi et al, 2006), autism (Boraston et al, 2007), and children with ADHD characteristics (Kats-Gold et al, 2007)] mirrors studies of normal adults in suggesting that those who are poor at reading affective information demonstrate low levels of social skills and0or social functioning. In the schizophrenia field, it has been shown that emotion perception ability is not only related to level of social functioning (Penn et al, 2001) but may adversely affect social functioning independently of both cognitive deficits and positive and negative symptoms of the disorder (Kohler et al, 2000).…”

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.

“…General social functioning, i.e. the possibility to live an autonomous life, to work, to have good relationships with the family or significant others, is linked to EFE perception skills but not to the prosody recognition or the recognition of faces per se in one study (Hooker & Park, 2002). Another study has found that emotion perception difficulties in general (facial emotion, voice emotion and affect perception) are associated with decreased work functioning and altered possibility to live independently, when patients are followed 12 months after assessment (Kee, Green, Mintz, & Brekke, 2003).…”

Dysfunctions of Facial Emotion Recognition in Adult Neuropsychiatric Disorders: Influence on interpersonal difficulties

Emotional facial expression (EFE) accurate recognition is needed to ensure good interpersonal communication and relationship. Impaired recognition of emotional facial expressions has been described in many neuropsychiatric disorders. Neuronal circuits dysfunctions and/or inappropriate learning processes could explain these recognition difficulties. EFE decoding disturbances in adult neuropsychiatric disorders are reviewed. For some of these disorders, a correlation has been evidenced between poor recognition of EFE and interpersonal difficulties. Treatment of EFE dysfunctions seems possible but it is not yet known if such a treatment could improve the interpersonal life of patients with neuropsychiatric disorders.
