abstract="Studies of abnormal theory of mind (ToM) performance in adult patients with  traumatic brain injury (TBI) have reported inconsistent results. Therefore, we  conducted a meta-analysis to characterize ToM performance in adult patients with  TBI. Random-effects models were employed to estimate the overall effect size and the  differential effect sizes across different ToM aspects. Based on a sample of 28  studies (1031 patients and 865 healthy controls), the meta-analytic findings  revealed that ToM was significantly impaired in adult patients with TBI compared to  healthy controls (g = -1.13). Besides, patients with TBI showed significant  impairments in individual ToM tasks, as well as for different stimulus modes and  contents involved in these ToM tasks. A meta-regression indicated a positive  association between ToM performance and Glasgow Coma Scale score. The results of the  current meta-analysis suggest that the performance in ToM tasks may be a good  predictor of functional outcomes in adults with TBI, which is important for the  identification of targets for cognitive interventions and the development of useful  training intervention programs.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
