Abstract
The aim of the work: is to analyze the prospects of the study of «social cognition» for solving diagnostic questions of geriatric psychiatry.
Materials and methods: combining the key words «social cognition», «theory of mind» and «neurodegenerative diseases», «mild cognitive impairment», etc., in PubMed, ScienceDirect, PsycARTICLES databases, there were chosen and analyzed publications of the last decade in form of reviews, meta-analyzes and longitudinal studies.
Results: today the evaluation of social cognition has been included as a necessary requirement in the diagnosis of «Dementia», «Neurocognitive Disorder» or «Mild Cognitive Decline» in the modern diagnostic manuals (DSM-V and the preliminary version of ICD-11). In foreign psychiatry and clinical psychology, the study of social cognition in the elderly has become a new research
trend of the last decade. In the first part of the article, the conceptual basis and methods of this research area are considered.
Conclusion: the most common conceptual basis for studying social cognition in the elderly patients is the concept of the «theory of mind». Today the brain correlates of the theory of mind have been identified, a stable set of psychodiagnostic methods for its evaluation with validated indicators of validity and reliability has been formed.
