Results : The average grades of each evaluation tool among three groups showed significant differences(p<.01). The correlation exists between MMSE-K and SSS(r=.40, p<.05) and the‘Cartoon Task’(r=.57, p<.01) was existed.
Conclusion : These results indicate that CVA and dementia patients may have a social cognition disorder and suggest that occupational therapists specialize in cognitive rehabilitation should study the evaluation and treatment methods for social cognition disorders.
