Ryoji Iwata / Unsplash Human interactions are enabled by a set of neurocognitive mechanisms defined by the notion of social cognition. In order to detect patients with social cognition disorders, specialists use internationally validated evaluation tests. However, most of these tests have been developed in industrialized Western countries, which raises questions about the relevance of generalizing them to the whole of humanity. A research team from Inserm, the University Hospital of Lille and the University of Lille within the Lille Neuroscience & Cognition laboratory has studied the impact of cultural differences on performance on two tests.cultural differences on performance on two of the most widely used neurocognitive tests worldwide, by comparing the results of almost 600 healthy participants across 12 countries. Their study, to be published in Neuropsychology , points to significant differences in performance across countries and calls for greater consideration of social sciences in the development of neurocognitive tests . The notion of social cognition refers to all the cognitive processes (perception, memorization, reasoning, emotion..) that are involved in social interactions.
