Why Do Cultures Affect Facial Emotion Perception? A Systematic Review
The purpose of this review is to unveil mechanisms underlying cross-cultural differences in facial emotion perception. We synthesized findings from 105 studies across five thematic areas in facial emotion perception across cultures: contextual influence, processing facial features, display rules and interpretation, affiliation with ethnic and social groups, and emotion conceptualization. Nine key mechanisms were identified to explain cross-cultur…
Prevalence and correlates of traumatic brain injury amongst heroin users
The study aimed to determine the prevalence and severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI) amongst heroin users, and its associations with cognitive functioning and drug use histories. TBI and drug use histories were taken from 175 heroin users enrolled in maintenance or residential treatment, and neuropsychological tests administered measuring executive function, working memory, information processing speed, verbal learning and non-verbal learning…
New Frontiers in Neuropsychological Assessment
Many clinical disorders lead to impairments in social perception that are not easily detected using standard neuropsychological instruments. In this article, The Awareness of Social Inference Test (TASIT) is described, and evidence for its reliability and validity is reviewed. TASIT was designed to assess the ability to interpret emotional expressions and paralinguistic cues in order to make judgements about speakers' mental states and their conv…
Neuropsychological Studies of Sarcasm
Neuropsychological Studies of Sarcasm
Discussions concerning the processes underlying the comprehension of sarcasm can be facilitated by research into brain-damaged participants. Acquired brain damage impairs certain cognitive processes, leaving others intact. The finding that patients with damage to the right hemisphere (RH) and patients with traumatic brain injury (TBI) affecting frontal lobe function both find it difficult to comprehend sarcasm provides the opportunity to determin…
Hypothesis testing in neuropsychology in context
This comment addresses specific issues concerning neuropsychological practice in Australia that have been raised by Bowden (1995) in an earlier edition of the Australian Psychologist, Specifically, Bowden argues that hypothesis testing as currently practiced by Australian neuropsychologists is professionally self-defeating and scientifically flawed. In this comment, these matters are addressed. It is argued that, in contradistinction to Bowden's …
