Influence of ageing, cognitive factors, and task modality on social cognitive performance in nondemented older adults
In ToM and emotion recognition, unimodal task performance was associated with age and some cognitive factors, and multimodal task performance was largely associated with executive function. Performance in affective empathy tasks was linked to affective measures. Poor performance in multimodal tasks likely reflects executive dysfunction in consolidating multiple streams of social information, while some declining performance in unimodal tasks may be normative to ageing.
