UNASSIGNED: Explicit but not implicit facial emotion perception has been shown to be impaired in @entity161 . In this study, we used newly developed technology in social neuroscience to examine implicit emotion processing. It has been shown that when @entity1 look at faces, they automatically infer social traits, and these trait judgments rely heavily on facial features and subtle emotion expressions even with neutral faces. Eighty-one individuals with @entity161 or @entity914 and 62 control subjects completed a computer task with 30 well-characterized neutral faces. They rated each face on 10 trait judgments: attractive, mean, trustworthy, intelligent, dominant, fun, sociable, aggressive, emotionally stable and weird. The degree to which trait ratings were predicted by objectively-measured subtle emotion expressions served as a measure of implicit emotion processing. Explicit emotion recognition was also examined. Trait ratings were significantly predicted by subtle facial emotional expressions in controls and @entity1 . However, impairment in the implicit emotion perception of fear, happiness, anger and surprise was found in @entity1 . Moreover, these deficits were associated with poorer everyday problem-solving skills and were relatively independent of explicit emotion recognition. Implicit emotion processing is impaired in @entity1 with @entity161 or @entity914 . Deficits in implicit and explicit emotion perception independently contribute to the @entity1 ' poor daily life skills. More research is needed to fully understand the role of implicit and explicit processes in the functional deficits of @entity1 , in order to develop targeted and useful remediation interventions.
