This meta-analysis assessed diagnostic accuracy across 32 studies, reporting pooled sensitivity (0.808, 95% CI: 0.775-0.838) and specificity (0.795, 95% CI: 0.757-0.828), but with considerable heterogeneity (I<sup>2</sup> = 71.5% sensitivity; 84.0% specificity).

Meta-regression indicated that applicability concerns significantly reduced specificity (p = 0.037), with older age also predicting lower specificity (p = 0.029).

To address this, this meta-analysis synthesizes the literature on the validation of social attribution tasks, including theory of mind (ToM) and emotion recognition measures, across a broad range of clinical conditions. We extracted psychometric data (i.e. known-group, content and convergent validity, sensitivity/specificity, test-retest reliability, interrater reliability, internal consistency) from validation studies published until May 2024. Pooled effect sizes, confidence intervals, and heterogeneity indices were estimated within a random-effect model. In addition, we synthesized all available psychometric criteria for each test. We also examined ecological validity, which is particularly relevant for social cognition. Of 1055 articles, 55 studies reporting psychometric data from 3'845 patients and 3'807 control subjects were included in the present paper. Known-group validity was assessed via pooled effect sizes derived from 46 studies with control groups, with robust outcomes for schizophrenia and ASD (ToM tests only), but considerable heterogeneity and inconsistencies for other populations. Several tasks and batteries emerged as particularly well validated for specific conditions.

The cognitive functions required for such active engagement in rehabilitation are commonly impaired after TBI, consequently limiting the benefits of many existing cognitive rehabilitation approaches. Environmental approaches, which involve manipulating the environment to support cognition and function, may benefit TBI survivors, as they do not require active involvement of the user to initiate and maintain their use. Although these approaches are recommended by experts and frequently used, their effectiveness and components are largely unknown. We conducted a systematic review, searching for randomised controlled trials of adults with TBI who received environmental interventions for cognitive or related functional outcomes, compared to any control. Two reviewers independently undertook screening and data extraction following a standardised protocol. Risk of bias was assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Instruments. Five studies were included in the review. Environmental intervention approaches included prompting (three studies) and trained communication partners (two studies), both of which demonstrated relatively strong evidence for their effectiveness. Key methodological limitations included insufficient blinding to group allocation, randomisation concealment, reliability of outcome measurement, and lack of baseline similarity between groups.
