The relationships among facial emotion recognition, social skills, and quality of life.
Forty-six adults with mild or moderate mental retardation living in a large residential facility were administered the socialization domain of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales, a subjective measure of quality of life, and a facial emotion recognition test. There were significant differences in accuracy of emotion recognition among specific emotions. However, the only significant correlate of facial emotion recognition was IQ. Possible relationships among facial emotion recognition and basic versus more subtle indices of socialization are explored.

Age and IQ as predictors of emotion identification in adults with mental retardation.
The effects of age and IQ on the identification of six emotions were assessed for adults with mental retardation. Emotion perception was tested in three paradigms: a short vignette was read, and the individual was asked to choose a pictorial representation of a facial expression which corresponded to the vignette; a short vignette was read, and the individual was asked to choose a word that corresponded to the vignette; and a word was read, and the individual was asked to choose a pictorial representation of a facial expression that corresponded to the word. Age correlated negatively with performance in the two conditions in which choosing a facial expression was used as a response. IQ significantly predicted performance in all three conditions. A decrease in right hemisphere processing abilities with age was suggested as one possible explanation for the findings.
