Mini social cognition and emotional assessment: Diagnostic performance and neural correlates in behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract We aimed at validating the Mini Social Cognition and Emotional Assessment (Mini‐SEA) in a German cohort of mildly impaired behavioural‐variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) patients and healthy controls. The Mini‐SEA comprises the Facial Emotion Recognition Test (FERT) and the Faux Pas Test (FPT) measuring Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in ...

Exploring Theory of Mind abilities in patients with probable idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract This study investigated Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits in patients with suspected idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH), a condition affecting motor, cognitive and autonomic functions. Given the overlap between ToM‐related neural networks and those affected in iNPH, we examined whether ToM impairments are a feature of the disease ...

Preservation of positive emotion recognition in patients with multiple sclerosis: Artefact related to methodological issues or real feature of the disorder?

Journal of Neuropsychology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prior studies in multiple sclerosis (MS) suggest preserved recognition of positive emotions despite deficits for negative ones, but this dissociation may reflect methodological limitations (valence‐asymmetry: positive‐valence being limited to happiness/joy in basic‐emotion sets). This study tested whether emotion–recognition deficits in MS are
