Social cognition impairments are associated with behavioural changes in the long term after stroke.

In recent literature, the association between vertebrobasilar stroke or other cerebellar diseases, and impaired emotion recognition was found.[ 32 – 34 ] Furthermore, functional MRI studies showed that the cerebellum is critically implicated in social cognition.[ 35 , 36 ] It is up for discussion whether age and educational level should also have been included as covariates in the ANCOVA, because chi-square and t-tests on differences between patients and controls approached significance on these factors (age: t = -1.8, p = 0.08; and education level: X 2 = 2.5, p = 0.12).
