Description
Tatiana Belfort and co-authors follow social cognition in Brazilians with Alzheimer's disease over one year, in a 2025 study. Social cognition is the skill of reading social cues and making sound social choices. It often fades as the disease advances, which adds to dependence and family strain.
The study began with 137 patient-caregiver pairs and finished with 79 pairs after one year. Thinking skills fell over the year, as expected, but social cognition held fairly steady. For patients, social cognition tracked general thinking at both checks. For caregivers, it also tracked the patient's daily function and quality of life. The team suggest feelings may shape social cognition more than raw thinking does, a point that could guide kinder, better aimed care.
