Social cognition is impaired in a large number of neurological afflictions,
including neurodegenerative diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders and
neurodevelopmental syndromes, and has become a significant element in
differential diagnoses. This report describes the different processes involved in
social cognition and the way in which they work together to allow adapted
behaviors. This is then followed by the numerous clinical symptoms of social
behavioral disturbances and social cognition performance in different
neurological afflictions such as frontotemporal lobar degeneration, Alzheimer's
disease and schizophrenia. In addition, the available tasks allowing social
cognition assessment in routine clinical practice are also presented.
