Abstract :

Social cognition, defined as cognitive processes specifically engaged in interactions with others, is one of the seven domains of cognition commonly impaired in schizophrenia. Recent studies suggest an important impact of social cognition deficits on social functioning, and promising effects of specific cognitive remediation on those deficits. Social cognition is a composite domain and five different processes are consensually identified: emotional processing, theory of mind, attributional style, social perception and social knowledge. Social cognition remediation interventions can be classified as large (programs including neuro cognitive, social cognition and social abilities training) global (programs taking into account of all components of social cognition) or targeted on one process. We propose to present GA�?A s-face, an individual social cognition remediation, computer assisted, program targeted on facial affects recognition, and the first results on social cognition processes, symptoms and social functioning of a controlled randomised study which has compared GA�?A s-face with a cognitive remediation of attentional processes program.
