TI  - Impaired emotion processing in remitted patients with bipolar disorder.
PG  - 53-6
AB  - In the present study, we examined whether there is an impairment in affect 
      matching abilities in remitted patients with bipolar disorder and if this could 
      be attributed to problems with facial perception per se and/or the ability to 
      perceive the relative valence of facial expressions indicating emotions. We 
      examined 19 patients with bipolar disorder I, currently remitted, and 30 healthy 
      controls (15 men), matched on age, education, and gender, using two computerized 
      tests: matching facial identity [Kinney's Identity Matching Test (KIMT)] and 
      matching facial emotional expressions [Kinney's Affect Matching Test (KAMT)]. 
      Patients with bipolar disorder performed significantly worse than the healthy 
      group on the KAMT, but not on the KIMT. Performance on the KAMT and KIMT did not 
      correlate with age of onset and duration of illness, or with manic or depressive 
      residual symptoms. The present findings support the differential deficit 
      hypothesis regarding impaired affect perception in bipolar disorder during 
      remission. Patients' deficits were restricted to the matching of facial emotional 
      expressions despite their intact perception of facial identity.
