Measuring social cognition in adolescents : implications for students with TBI returning to school . In everyday adolescent communication , the ability to empathise with the mental state of others , recognise or infer intentions , or make judgements about emotional state , is a non-conscious but vital prerequisite of relating . Execution of these skills in social interactions supports both the exchange of social knowledge and also the development and maintenance of personal relationships . Thus , adolescents with impairments in these skills are at risk for a variety of negative outcomes . In this paper , we present data to illustrate that adolescents with traumatic brain injury ( TBI ) are likely to have impairments in processes such as emotion recognition and mental state attribution , and that these might not be identified on standardised tests . This is considered from the perspective of clinical assessment and intervention in school contexts .
