Significant deficits in the ability to recognize emotions in others have been noted in a wide variety of disorders, ranging from the psychiatric to the neurologic. Emotions are vital to social interaction and in some cases even survival, yet there are currently few standardized neuropsychological measures in common use to assess emotion perception abilities. This dissertation examined the effects of age on performance on the Comprehensive Affect Testing System (CATS), a new assessment battery designed to measure perception of emotion across three channels of communication, including facial affect recognition, semantic content (lexical), and emotional prosody. It was hypothesized that age would be associated with a decline in performance on all three channels, and that the greatest declines would be seen for "cross-modal" tasks. In order to reduce the number of dependent variables, the 13 CATS subtests were combined into composite scales: (1) Facial Discrimination, (2) Facial Identification, (3) Facial Matching, (4) Prosody Scale, (5) Lexical Scale, (6) Cross-Modal Scale 1, and (7)Cross-Modal Scale 2.

520 $a Significant deficits in the ability to recognize emotions in others have been noted in a wide variety of disorders, ranging from the psychiatric to the neurologic. Emotions are vital to social interaction and in some cases even survival, yet there are currently few standardized neuropsychological measures in common use to assess emotion perception abilities. This dissertation examined the effects of age on performance on the Comprehensive Affect Testing System (CATS), a new assessment battery designed to measure perception of emotion across three channels of communication, including facial affect recognition, semantic content (lexical), and emotional prosody. It was hypothesized that age would be associated with a decline in performance on all three channels, and that the greatest declines would be seen for "cross-modal" tasks. In order to reduce the number of dependent variables, the 13 CATS subtests were combined into composite scales: (1) Facial Discrimination, (2) Facial Identification, (3) Facial Matching, (4) Prosody Scale, (5) Lexical Scale, (6) Cross-Modal Scale 1, and (7)Cross-Modal Scale 2.
520 $a Age was associated with a significant decline in performance only for the Facial Matching Scale, the Prosody Scale, and the two Cross-Modal Scales. In general, the age-declines seen for the cross-modal tasks were not significantly greater than those seen for the simpler recognition tasks. Performance on the Prosody Scale, but not the three facial scales, explained a significant amount of variance in performance on the cross-modal tasks; however, age also explained a significant amount of unique variance on these tasks. Gender explained as much of the variance in performance on the Facial Matching Scale as did age. Further analyses suggested that the age effect seen for the Facial Matching Scale was due to the decline in fluid ability that is also seen with advancing age. However, age contributed to a significant amount of unique variance in performance on the Prosody Scale and the Cross-Modal Scales, whereas the amount of unique variance explained by fluid ability was not significant. Validity of the CATS, clinical implications, and directions for future research are discussed. Overall, the CATS shows promise as a new neuropsychological instrument to assess emotion perception.
