Résumé
Studies targeting social behaviour now account for a significant proportion of the work done in cognitive sciences, and the benefits of understanding the mechanisms underlying social interactions are now well recognized. A factor that has encouraged research efforts in this domain is the recognition that social cognition deficits are strongly linked to social and occupational functioning in several clinical populations. This field can however be hard to fully appreciate given the large number of constructs and the terminologies that vary from one author to the next, the lack of standardized tests, and the large number of experimental tasks. Against this backdrop, we provide an overview of what we currently know about social cognition, its evaluation, its importance for everyday functioning, and the treatment approaches that are currently being developed.
