1 Social Cognition in Dementia: Informing Diagnosis, Prognosis and Management Dr Fiona Kumfor University of Sydney
2 CHANGES IN DEMENTIA Memory Social cognition Language
3 ELEMENTS OF SOCIAL COGNITION Face processing Emotion perception Empathy Theory of Mind (Understanding others)
4 SOCIAL DYSFUNCTION Foster appropriate responses Establish relationships Carer burden Social cognition Recognise intentions of others Develop emotional reciprocity
5 DEMENTIA SYNDROMES Memory disturbance Ehninger, Matnyia & Silva (2005) Behavioural-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvftd) Executive dysfunction Change in personality and behaviour Marked frontal lobe atrophy Executive dysfunction Alzheimer s disease (AD) Memory disturbance orientation, visuospatial Medial temporal lobe atrophy
6 SOCIAL/BEHAVIOURAL CHANGES In frontotemporal dementia changes in social cognition are profound Apathy/ loss of motivation Loss of empathy Inappropriate behavior in social situations Reduced engagement in social settings Altered personality In Alzheimer s disease changes in emotion and behaviour are mild Difficulty recognising friends/family Agitation Apathy
7 SOCIAL COGNITION IN DEMENTIA Brain regions involved in social cognition affected to different degrees in bvftd and AD Motivation Memory Emotion Behavioural regulation
8 HOW DO WE ASSESS SOCIAL COGNITION Ehninger, Matnyia & Silva (2005)
9 WHY IS SOCIAL COGNITION IMPORTANT? Diagnosis Is this dementia? Differentiating between dementia types (frontotemporal dementia vs. Alzheimer s) Prognosis Tracking how the disease progresses Understanding how and which symptoms change over time Management How can we improve patient quality of life? How can we reduce carer burden?

How can we reduce carer burden?
15 IMPROVING EMOTION RECOGNITION INCREASING SALIENCE
16 IMPROVING EMOTION RECOGNITION 100 Anger * * Percent Correct % +30% +50% +75% healthy controls behavioural-variant semantic dementia Emotion recognition impaired in bvftd and SD Increasing salience improves performance in bvftd but not SD progressive nonfluent aphasia Kumfor et al (2011) Social Neuroscience; Kumfor et al (2013) PLOS One
17 SUMMARY OF FINDINGS Frontotemporal dementia Aspects of social cognition are one of the primary and earliest symptoms With disease progression, these skills continue to decline Interventions need to target social cognition Carer burden is high Alzheimer s disease Typically, early symptoms are dominated by memory impairment Despite general cognitive decline, social skills can remain relatively intact May be able to harness these skills to improve quality of life
18 TAKE HOME MESSAGES Important to be aware of noncognitive symptoms of dementia Helpful to assess social cognition in dementia These symptoms are due to brain changes Need to develop ways to improve social interactions
