Longitudinal aspects of emotion recognition in patients with traumatic brain injury

Cerebral perfusion and neuropsychological follow up in mild traumatic brain injury: Acute versus chronic disturbances?

“…To our knowledge impairments of social cognition in mild TBI have been described less frequently. Although a relation with severity of injury had been described, (Henry, Phillips, Crawford, Ietswaart, & Summers, 2006;Ietswaart, Milders, Crawford, Currie, & Scott, 2008; most studies include more severely brain injured patients or studies containing patients with various severity of injury do not specifically address the mildly injured patients. A recent study by Spikman and colleagues on patients with moderate and severe TBI revealed significant deficits in social cognition with the highest effect size for the emotion perception test, the FEEST (Spikman et al, 2012).…”

Social Behavior and Impairments in Social Cognition Following Traumatic Brain Injury

“…Social behaviour and social cognition impairments 5 following TBI has been reported by various studies (e.g. Croker & McDonald, 2005;Babbage et al, 2011, Ietswaart, Milders, Crawford, Currie & Scott, 2008Spikman, Timmerman, Milders, Veenstra & van der Naalt, 2012;Williams & Wood, 2010). Understanding other people's intentions and beliefs, also referred to as theory of mind (ToM), can also be impaired following TBI (Bibby & McDonald, 2005;Bivona et al, 2014;Geraci, Surian, Ferraro, Cantagallo, 2010;Havet-Thomassin, Allain, Etcharry-Bouyx & Le Gall, 2005;McLellan & Mckinlay, 2013;Milders, Ietswaart, Crawford & Currie, 2006, 2012Muller, Simion, Reviriego, Galera, Mazaux, Barat & Joseph, 2010;Spikman et al, 2012).…”

The influence of attention and arousal on emotion perception in adults with severe traumatic brain injury

“…It is now well established that many people with TBI have poor recognition of emotional expression in others (Green et al, 2004;Ietswaart et al, 2008;McDonald and Saunders, 2005;Milders et al, 2003Milders et al, , 2008 with negative emotions more frequently impaired. However, the neuropsychological mechanisms underpinning such deficits are as yet unclear.…”
