Objective: To compare the efficacy of 2 strategies, errorless learning (EL) and self-instruction training (SIT), for remediating emotion perception deficits in individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Design: Randomized controlled trial comparing groups receiving 25 hours (across 10 weeks) of treatment with either EL or SIT with waitlist control. Setting and Participants: Eighteen adult outpatient volunteers with severe TBI who were at least 6 months postinjury. Main Outcomes Measures: Photograph-based emotion recognition tasks, The Awareness of Social Inferences Test, and questionnaire measures, for example, the Sydney Psychosocial Reintegration Scale. Results: Both treatment groups showed modest improvement in emotion perception ability. Limited evidence suggests that SIT may be a favorable approach for this type of remediation. Conclusions: Although further research is needed, there are reasons for optimism regarding rehabilitation of emotion perception following TBI.

Providing on-line support to families of people with brain injury and challenging behaviour: A feasibility study

Skye McDonald, Emily Trimmer, Jill Newby, Samantha Grant, Paul Gertler, Grahame K. Simpson

Summary: Challenging behaviors following traumatic brain injury (TBI) can cause significant stress for families, with limited support available due to clinician availability and geographic constraints. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an online treatment program providing psychoeducation and specific approaches for managing TBI-related behaviors. While most participating families found the program useful and practical, there was minimal change in reported challenging behaviors, mood, carer strain, and family function during the few months of the program. Further research is needed to examine long-term effects.

tDCS effects on task-related activation and working memory performance in traumatic brain injury: A within group randomized controlled trial

Jacqueline A. Rushby, Frances M. De Blasio, Jodie A. Logan, Travis Wearne, Emma Kornfeld, Emily Jane Wilson, Colleen Loo, Donel Martin, Skye McDonald

Summary: This study found that a single session of tDCS did not improve working memory accuracy in people with TBI. Instead, tDCS was associated with a slight increase in variability and reaction time, which was related to decreased task activated arousal.

The complex audio visual emotion assessment task (CAVEAT): development of a shorter version for clinical use

Skye McDonald, Emily Wilson, Travis Wearne, Lillian Darke, Anneli Cassel, Hannah Rosenberg

Summary: The study aimed to develop shortened versions of a measure for assessing emotion perception in individuals with TBI and evaluate their psychometric properties. The shortened versions showed comparable accuracy to the full measure and were able to discriminate between individuals with and without TBI. They correlated with other measures of emotion perception and social cognition and predicted psychosocial outcomes. The shortened versions are promising tools for clinical assessment purposes.

Regulating emotion following severe traumatic brain injury: a randomized controlled trial of heart-rate variability biofeedback training

T. A. Wearne, J. A. Logan, E. M. Trimmer, E. Wilson, M. Filipcikova, E. Kornfeld, J. A. Rushby, S. McDonald

Summary: The study found that biofeedback training reduced skin conductance, improved sleep disturbances, and decreased negative mood valence and depression. However, it did not have any effect on other objective or subjective responses to mood induction procedures. Biofeedback training may be a feasible technique for improving emotional well-being and sleep disturbances following traumatic brain injury.

Domains and measures of social cognition in acquired brain injury: A scoping review

Kimberley Wallis, Michelle Kelly, Sarah E. McRae, Skye McDonald, Linda E. Campbell

Summary: Social cognition plays a significant role in functional outcomes in acquired brain injury (ABI), but inconsistency in terminology and a wide range of assessment tools hinder the progress in assessing and understanding social cognitive impairments. This review identified emotion perception, theory of mind, social communication, identity recognition, and empathy as the most commonly assessed domains, with commonly used measures including the Ekman and Friesen photo series, Faux Pas Recognition Test, La Trobe Communication Questionnaire, Benton Facial Recognition Test, and the Interpersonal Reactivity Index. Despite the availability of well-validated measures, they are often underused in clinical settings in favor of non-standardized measures or developing new measures for research purposes.

Empathy Across the Ages: I May Be Older But I'm Still Feeling It

Michelle Kelly, Skye McDonald, Kimberley Wallis

Summary: The study found that age did not predict trait cognitive and affective empathy, but did have an impact on behavioral cognitive empathy tasks and self-relevant inhibition. Older adults performed worse on some cognitive empathy tasks compared to younger adults, and inhibition was found to be related to cognitive empathy performance.

Calling on clinicians to get social and emotional

Skye McDonald, Travis Wearne, Michelle Kelly

Summary: This paper reviews the prevalence and degree of impairment associated with disorders of social cognition and emotion regulation in clinical conditions. The results show that many clinical conditions are associated with impairments in social cognition and emotion regulation, and the effect sizes are comparable to impairments in nonsocial cognition. However, standardized assessment of social cognition is not routine in clinical practice, despite the availability of tools and evidence for intervention efficacy. Therefore, clinicians are urged to incorporate social cognition into their assessments and treatment planning for comprehensive person-centered care.

Development of the Basel Version of the Awareness of Social Inference Test - Theory of Mind (BASIT-ToM) in healthy adults

Marianne Jarsch, Olivier Piguet, Manfred Berres, Constantin Sluka, Anna Semenkova, Reto W. Kressig, Andreas U. Monsch, Skye McDonald, Marc Sollberger

Summary: This study aimed to develop the first German-language adaptation of TASIT-SIM, an ecologically valid test for assessing Theory of Mind (ToM) abilities in healthy adults. Thirteen scenes were selected and filmed at different intensities to determine the best materials for the test. Through Rasch analysis, intensity versions were chosen that showed optimal performance in participants with medium ToM abilities. In conclusion, the Basel Version of the Awareness of Social Inference Test - Theory of Mind (BASIT-ToM) was developed, incorporating the strengths of TASIT-SIM and addressing its limitations. Further validation of BASIT-ToM is needed in both healthy and clinical populations.

Examining the Vietnamese Montreal cognitive assessment in healthy and moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury populations

Halle Quang, Ashley L. Nguyen, Cardinal Do, Skye McDonald, Christopher Nguyen

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the utility of the Vietnamese translation of the MoCA (MoCA-V) in a Vietnamese sample. The results showed significant correlations between MoCA-V subscales and neuropsychological tests in healthy participants and individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI). The optimal cut-off score of 22 offered the best sensitivity and specificity trade-off in identifying cognitive impairment measured by the MoCA-V.

Disinhibited and angry: Investigating the relationship between social disinhibition and the components of aggression following severe TBI

Michaela Filipcikova, Travis Wearne, Skye McDonald

Summary: Social disinhibition and aggression share similarities, but research on social disinhibition following severe traumatic brain injury is limited. This study aimed to determine the relationship between social disinhibition and aggression after severe TBI. Results showed that self-reported anger was associated with higher levels of social disinhibition, but other components of aggression did not contribute to social disinhibition.

Inhibitory Control Impairment in Social Disinhibition Following Severe Traumatic Brain Injury: An Experimental Study Using Social and Nonsocial Go/No-Go Task

Michaela Filipcikova, Skye McDonald

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the role of inhibitory control impairment in social disinhibition following TBI, using social and nonsocial tasks. The findings suggest that social disinhibition is linked to inhibitory control impairment, but this is only evident when the latter is assessed by a task with a social context.

The prevalence, predictors, associated symptoms, and outcomes of social disinhibition following moderate-to-severe TBI: A scoping review of quantitative evidence

Michaela Filipcikova, Travis Wearne, Ranran Li, Skye McDonald

Summary: Social disinhibition is a common and significant consequence of moderate-to-severe traumatic brain injury (TBI), impacting both patients and their caregivers. Inappropriate sexual behavior is more prevalent in men and younger survivors, while rule-breaking/perseverative errors in fluency tests are significantly associated with social disinhibition. Caregiver burden and higher emotional empathy levels are also highlighted in the study.
