CALODOLCE, Florencia; POLITIS, Daniel  and  MOYANO, Paula. Relationship Between Emotional Feedback, Verbal-Cognitive Feedback And Emotional Perception In The Frontal Variant Of Frontotemporal Dementia Preliminary Results. Anu. investig. [online]. 2008, vol.15. ISSN 1851-1686.

Several studies found dissociations, both between social cognition tests among themselves, and between these and those evaluating executive functions, which supports the idea that emotional feedback, emotional perception and verbal-cognitive feedback are independent cognitive domains. Nevertheless in present literature there is a controversy respect to that dissosciation. With the objective to study the relation between these processes a group of 15 subjects with frontal variant of Frontotemporal Dementia (DFTvf), was evaluated with a neuropsycological battery and in addition using: Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST), Iowa Gamblig Task (IGT) and The Reading the mind in Eyes Test (LMO). There was found: an inverse correlation between IGT and WCST, a direct correlation between LMO and WCST and a lack of correlation between IGT and LMO. These results support the hypothesis that the studied cognitive domains are dissociated (Bechara,A., Damasio, A.R. y Lough, S.).
