People with a severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) often experience problems understanding non‐literal utterances such as sarcasm and lies in dyadic exchanges. This study aimed to investigate whether these problems extend to settings where speakers vary in their degree of sincerity and whether such problems are associated with deficits in social cognitive abilities (emotion perception, theory of mind, and self‐reported empathy) or cognitive abilities (abstract reasoning, working memory, processing speed, attentional switching).

患有严重外伤性脑损伤（TBI）的人经常会遇到理解讽刺等非文字语言的问题，并且处于二元交流中。这项研究旨在调查这些问题是否扩展到说话者的诚挚程度有所不同的环境，以及这些问题是否与社会认知能力（情感感知，思维理论和自我报告的同理心）或认知能力（抽象的）不足相关。推理，工作记忆，处理速度，注意切换）。
