Brief summary

Goal of the current project is the development of a German-language test battery for a realistic investigation of core areas of social issues Cognition (emotion, perspective taking). This test battery should be used in the investigation of patients with neuropsychological disorders. Investigators plan to establish a German-version of the TASIT that is more sensitive and shorter in administration than the original TASIT.
