Social cognitive interventions in neuropsychiatric patients: A meta-analysis
TL;DR: The meta-analyses showed that interventions were effective in improving SC and broad-based interventions were able to ameliorate EP, ToM, and SF, but also showed effects on EP and ToM.

Abstract: Social cognitive deficits are common in neuropsychiatric disorders. Given the proximity of social cognition (SC) to everyday functioning, many intervention studies (including targeted, comprehensive, and broad-based approaches) have focussed on SC. The aim of this paper was to quantitatively meta-analyse the efficacy of SC interventions in adult neuropsychiatric patients. Databases Pubmed, PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge, and Embase were searched for controlled SC intervention studies published between 01-01-2003 and 01-01-2016. Forty-one studies, comprising 1,508 patients with schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorders, or acquired brain injury were included. Outcome measures evaluated emotion perception (EP), social perception (SP), Theory of Mind (ToM), and social functioning (SF). The meta-analyses showed that interventions were effective in improving SC (Cohen's d=.71). Interventions targeting one specific SC function were found to be most effective (d=.89), followed by broad-based interventions, targeting non-SC domains in addition to SC (d=.65), and comprehensive interventions, that target multiple SC processes (d=.61). Targeted interventions were especially effective in improving EP and ToM. Comprehensive interventions were able to ameliorate EP, ToM, and SF. Broad-based interventions were especially effective in improving SF, but also showed effects on EP and ToM.

Social Cognition in Schizophrenia and Autism Spectrum Disorders: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Direct Comparisons.

TL;DR: The instruments that are currently available to evaluate social cognition poorly differentiate between individuals with schizophrenia and ASD, and combining behavioral tasks with neurophysiologic assessments may better characterize the differences in social cognition between both disorders.

TL;DR: The neurocognitive relationship between linguistic and socio‐cognitive deficits cannot be precisely predicated for PPA as a whole; instead, specific links must be acknowledged in each variant, which pave the way for fruitful dimensional research in the field.

TL;DR: The study found that children with ASD coordinated their bodily movements with a clinician, that these movements were complex and that the complexity of the children’s movements matched that of the clinician's movements.
Social cognition in patients with intracranial tumors: do we forget something in the routine neuropsychological examination?
TL;DR: Deficits in social cognition are frequent and clinically relevant in patients with intracranial tumors and the inclusion of social cognitive measures in the routine neuropsychological examination for brain tumor patients might add valuable information about the patient whilst requiring reasonable additional resources.
