Social intelligence in the context of the development of subjective cognitive impairment

Abstract

BACKGROUND. The presented literature review reveals the topic of subjective cognitive impairment in the context of social intelligence disorders as one of the most important components of cognitive functions.

AIM. Analysis of existing literature data on subjective cognitive impairments and assessment of social intelligence.

MATERIAL AND METHODS. Various sources were considered during conducting a literature review on the selected topic. The search depth was more than 15 years. Russian and foreign sources were studied on Internet platforms such as Web of science, UpToDate, PubMed, Medscape, eLIBRARY for selection of literature.

RESULTS. The paper compares the types of cognitive disorders and the main differences between the group of subjective disorders and other pronounced forms of cognitive disorders. The key differences include the impossibility of making a diagnosis based on the results of neuropsychological testing, the absence of a clinically pronounced syndrome and difficulties in performing everyday tasks. The connection of social intelligence with factors adversely affecting the state of health is considered, and a generalizing characteristic of social intelligence as a separate cognitive function is presented.

CONCLUSION. The low detectability of subjective cognitive impairments is associated with ignorance of their severity on the part of both the doctor and the patient. There is a problem of adequate methods for assessing subjective cognitive impairment using neuropsychological testing, including determining the level of social intelligence. The most accurate method of assessing social intelligence is the Guilford test.
