Full textIntroduction: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is known to cause detrimental effects to motor function and cognition. The motor effects of the disease in turn impact emotion expression in patients with PD. There is conflicting evidence in research, however, as to whether PD also affects emotion comprehension, and if so, what emotions in particular are affected and across what modalities. This study aimed to investigate the effects of PD on a broad range of skills involved in basic and complex emotion comprehension. Whether these effects extend into other areas associated with emotion processing, such as social cognition and autobiographical memory, was also explored. Methods: Sixteen patients with PD participated in the study along with sixteen control subjects who were matched for age, gender, education level and estimated premorbid intelligence. The PD participants, on average, were in the moderate phase of the disease and taking PD medication, including dopamine. Participants were tested on a range of recognition measures including prototypical and morphed facial expressions with reduced intensity (40 and 80%), emotion prosody, written emotion vignettes, emotional imagery, pictures of emotion, social cognition, and a cued autobiographical memory task. A mood inventory was given, and disease severity and duration were noted. Results: The PD group did not show pervasive deficits in emotion recognition overall. Deficits were demonstrated in prosody recognition, specifically with fearful tones, and in an incongruent prosody task, specifically with angry and neutral tones. The PD group was not able to recognise facial expressions of disgust (mixed intensities) as well as controls, with the result showing a trend toward significance. PD participants were also significantly worse in Theory of Mind (TOM) reasoning but not at another social cognition measure involving recognising social emotions through expressions from the eyes only. There were no differences between the groups across all other tests. Discussion: PD is thought to cause subtle deficits in emotion comprehension which are only elucidated through complex tasks. The effects of PD on complex processing also impact TOM performance, which relies on skills involved in complex emotion recognition. Effects of mood and disease factors on performance were circumscribed. Evidence suggested that the basal ganglia and fronto-striatal connections play a role in emotion comprehension.

Full textStarting from birth, we daily observe and experience social interactions - i.e., eye contact, being held, or being smiled at. Frequently, infants are not directly involved in social interactions, but they observe the social interactions that populate their surrounding environment. Using neurophysiological (Event Related Potentials, ERP; electromyography, EMG), and behavioral measures (preferential looking procedure), we aimed to further investigate infants’ responses to observed social signals, examining: i) the infants’ neural electrical activity elicited by the observation of prosocial and antisocial actions (Chapter 1), ii) infants’ ability to extract emotional information from an observed touching gesture (Chapter 2), and iii) the modulation exerted by their mother touch on infants’ attention to emotional stimuli (Chapter 3). Our research results found that neural activity of 5-6 months old infants differentiate observed prosocial vs antisocial actions: the elicitation of specific ERP components showed that more allocation of attention was given to the antisocial action, while more cognitive resources were devoted to the processing of the prosocial action (Chapter 1). Additionally, 11-month-olds’ facial muscles activity was congruent to the observed positive tactile interactions (caress of an arm), as shown by increased activity of the ZM muscle (activated in smiling). Conversely, no differential facial responses to observed negative tactile interactions (scratch of an arm) emerged (Chapter 2). Lastly, we demonstrated that experiences of maternal touch modulate infants’ attention to emotional stimuli. Infants who received affective touch and had a greater frequency score of past touch experience had a diminished avoidance of the angry faces; conversely, those in the non-affective touch condition and a higher touch frequency score tended to avoid angry faces more (Chapter 3). Overall, these findings add insights to the topic of early social cognition, shedding new light on how infants process social interactions.

Full textFacial expressions, by conveying information on individuals’ internal state and intentions, play an important role in social interactions. The idea that faces alone convey all the necessary information about the expresser’s emotional state in an unambiguous manner and independently of contextual factors was prevalent in the past decades (Calder et al., 1996; Smith et al., 2005) and drove the majority of literature on emotion perception to examine faces in isolation. Nonetheless, facial expressions are very rarely encountered in isolation in real life, and many recent adult studies indicate that the context in which they occur plays an essential part in their perception (for a review, see Aviezer et al., 2017; Wieser et al., 2014). Specifically, various forms of emotional and social context (e.g., emotional bodies or visual scenes, intrinsic social factors or past social experiences) were shown to have a significant influence on adults’ recognition, evaluation, and neural processing of facial expressions (Aviezer et al., 2017; Iidaka et al., 2010; Jack et al., 2012; Pickett et al., 2004; Righart & De Gelder, 2006). However, research investigating the influence of context on the processing of emotional faces in developmental populations is extremely scarce, and although it suggests that contextual effects are also present in infancy and childhood, only a small subset of contextual cues have been examined so far. Therefore, this doctoral dissertation aimed at providing a more comprehensive view of the influence of context on the processing of facial emotions at different developmental stages, by examining the effects of different contextual cues on the perception, neural processing and recognition of facial expressions in infants and children. The first part of this thesis focused on contextual emotional signals. Results indicated that the surrounding facial emotional context (Chapter 1) as well as emotional kinematics cues (Chapter 2) influenced 12-month-olds’ attention and neural processing of emotional faces. The second part focused on contextual effects elicited by social cues in infants and children. They showed that contextual cues of social inclusion and exclusion affected 13-months-old infants’ neural processing of emotional faces (Chapter 3) as well as 5-, but not 7- nor 10-years-olds’ recognition of facial expressions (Chapter 4). Altogether, this thesis provides evidence that contextual effects can be elicited by various types of emotional and social cues (i.e., surrounding emotional faces, emotional kinematics, social inclusion and exclusion) in infants and children, and affect different levels of the processing of emotional faces (i.e., neural and behavioral). In addition, it suggests that these contextual effects vary as a function of the developmental stage of the perceiver (e.g., contextual effects were present only in 5-year-olds in Chapter 4). In sum, context seems to play an essential role in the processing of facial expressions in infancy and childhood, and should be granted particular attention in future developmental studies.
