Previous research has shown that individuals with traumatic brain injury (TBI) are significantly impaired on emotion recognition tasks. In this study, the relationship between neuropsychological functioning and emotion recognition was examined in 11 individuals with moderate to severe TBI and a control group of 13 individuals matched for age,sex, and education. Emotion recognition stimuli were from Ekman and Friesen's pictures of facial affect. The group with TBI showed neuropsychological deficits consistent with those commonly found following moderate to severe TBI. The group with TBI also identified significantly fewer emotion recognition stimuli than the control group. The number of correctly identified emotion recognition stimuli was significantly correlated with measures of verbal cognitive processing in the group with TBI. These findings suggest that the role of left hemisphere brain mechanisms in the recognition of facial (nonverbal)emotion may be more important than previously recognized.
先前的研究表明，患有创伤性脑损伤（TBI）的个体在情绪识别任务上存在显著障碍。在本研究中，对11名中重度TBI患者以及13名年龄、性别和教育程度相匹配的对照组个体的神经心理功能与情绪识别之间的关系进行了研究。情绪识别刺激来自埃克曼和弗里森的面部表情图片。TBI组表现出与中重度TBI后常见情况一致的神经心理缺陷。TBI组识别出的情绪识别刺激也明显少于对照组。在TBI组中，正确识别的情绪识别刺激数量与言语认知加工测量值显著相关。这些发现表明，左半球脑机制在面部（非言语）情绪识别中的作用可能比之前认为的更为重要。
