The current study assessed recognition of facial emotional stimuli following traumatic brain injury (TBI) and examined whether performance may be influenced by emotional visual scenes. Thirty-five patients with moderate-to-severe TBI and 55 matched controls completed the novel Angers Facial Expression in Context Task (AFECT), designed to examine recognition of facial expressions of basic emotions in both congruent and incongruent emotional visual contexts. In comparison with non-brain damaged adults, patients with TBI performed more poorly and slowly on both contextual conditions (congruent vs. incongruent) of the AFECT. Taken together, these results raise the possibility that adults with TBI may not fully benefit from supportive contextual cues. Also, they stress the importance of using emotional stimuli that better capture affect processing in real-world contexts and open up new avenues to better understand negative social outcomes in patients with TBI.
当前的研究评估了创伤性脑损伤（TBI）后对面部情绪刺激的识别，并考察了表现是否可能受到情绪视觉场景的影响。35名中重度TBI患者和55名匹配的对照组完成了新颖的情境中愤怒面部表情任务（AFECT），该任务旨在考察在一致和不一致的情绪视觉情境中对基本情绪面部表情的识别。与非脑损伤成年人相比，TBI患者在AFECT的两种情境条件（一致与不一致）下表现更差且更慢。综合来看，这些结果增加了TBI成年人可能无法从支持性情境线索中充分受益的可能性。此外，它们强调了使用能更好地捕捉现实世界情境中情感加工的情绪刺激的重要性，并为更好地理解TBI患者的负面社会结果开辟了新途径。
