Deficits in social cognition following acquired brain injury (ABI) have been found to be both prevalent and disabling. Despite this, relatively little attention has been given to identifying the characteristics of such deficits in a systematic way. We describe the development of self and informant versions of a new questionnaire designed to measure the changes in social cognition that may occur following ABI, the Brain Injury Rehabilitation Trust (BIRT) Social Cognition Questionnaire (BSCQ).

This included the replication of validity testing and the collection of normative data. Following translation and adaptation according to cross-cultural guidelines, the questionnaires were administered as a pre-test to a sample of 20 healthy subjects and then to 10 patients.

- - The study aimed to evaluate how five non-cognitive neurobehavioral (NCNB) measures can predict participation and social adaptation outcomes one year after a brain injury.
- - Using a longitudinal design and multiple regression analysis, researchers found that motivation and emotional regulation significantly predicted outcomes, explaining 53% of the variation in the Mayo-Portland Adaptability Inventory scores.
- - The findings suggest that these NCNB measures could help clinicians identify patients who may need continued intervention, potentially improving rehabilitation planning.

Disturbances in emotional regulation following acquired brain injury have been found to be both prevalent and particularly disabling. Despite this, relatively little attention has been given to identifying characteristics of such deficits in a systematic way. We therefore describe the development of a new questionnaire measure of disturbances in emotional regulation that may occur following acquired brain injury.

Motivational deficits following acquired brain injury have been found to be both prevalent and particularly disabling. Despite this, relatively little attention has been given to such deficits. The development of self and informant versions of a new questionnaire measure of the changes in motivation that may occur following acquired brain injury is described.
