AbstractObjective: We aimed to elucidate how cognitive and affective empathy differ across age groups these differences might relate executive dysfunction.Methods: In study I, we assessed 108 healthy participants in three consecutive (20–39 years/40–59 years/60–79 years) using a self-report measure of trait (interpersonal reactivity index: IRI). II, 54 younger (20–35 older (55–70 individuals completed test state (multifaceted test: MET). Additionally, measures flexibility, response...
Objective Acquired brain injuries (ABIs), such as traumatic (TBIs), often entail impairments of general cognition (e.g., memory, attention or executive functions) and social (e.g. emotion recognition, theory mind [ToM], problem-solving). The availability fully computerized interventions targeting sociocognitive deficits specifically in neurologically impaired patients is extremely limited. Therefore, the Treatment Program for Deficits Social Cognition Competencies Ruhr University Bochum...
The current study aims to elucidate the electrophysiological correlates of performance patterns in an emotion recognition task among individuals with higher internet addiction (HIA) scores compared those lower (LIA) scores. Forty participants, twenty HIA group and LIA group, completed task, involving five facial expressions: anger, fear, disgust, neutral, sadness. Additionally, cognitive flexibility working memory were assessed examine their link abilities. No significant differences...
IntroductionAutism spectrum disorders (ASDs) are characterised by disturbances in social behaviour. A prevailing hypothesis suggests that these problems related to deficits assigning rewarding value stimuli. The present study aimed examine monetary reward processing adults with ASDs means of event-related potentials (ERPs).MethodsTen individuals mild (Asperger's syndrome and high-functioning autism) 12 healthy control subjects performed an active observational probabilistic reward-learning...
IntroductionIt is well established that autistic spectrum disorder linked to difficulties with mentalising, but the ways in which this affects everyday behaviour less understood. This study explored nature and extent of social functioning adults Asperger's syndrome (AS), since increased understanding can enhance development more effective intervention strategies.MethodsIndividuals AS (n=21) were compared healthy control participants on three tests cognition: Mentalistic Interpretation task,...
ABSTRACT Aims Addiction is a frequent comorbid disorder in schizophrenia and associated with poor outcome. The present study sought to determine whether addicted non‐addicted schizophrenic patients are impaired differentially on the executive abilities of working memory multi‐tasking which relevant for maintaining abstinence. Design Comparisons performance clinical control groups. Setting In‐patient setting. Participants cognitive profile without substance abuse was compared that suffering...
Up to now, little is known about higher order cognitive abilities like social cognition and problem solving in alcohol-dependent patients. However, impairments these domains lead an increased probability for relapse are thus highly relevant treatment contexts.This cross-sectional study assessed distinct aspects of 31 hospitalized patients with alcohol use disorder (AUD) 30 matched healthy controls (HC). Three ecologically valid scenario-based tests were used gauge the ability infer mental...
The error-related and feedback-related negativities (ERN FRN) represent negative event-related potentials associated with the processing of errors (negative) response outcomes. neuronal source these components is considered to be in anterior cingulate cortex (ACC). Monitoring one's own behavior impact it may have on other people or observing individuals perform receive feedback for their actions also engage empathy-related processes. Empathy conceived as a multifaceted construct involving...
