abstract = {Harmonized neuropsychological assessment for neurocognitive
disorders (NCDs) is an urgent priority in clinics.
Neuropsychology assessments in NCDs seldom include tests
exploring social cognitive skills. In 2022, we launched the
SIGNATURE initiative to optimize socio-cognitive assessment
in NCDs. Here, we report findings from the first initiative
phase, including consortium creation and evaluation of the
state of the art in socio-cognitive assessment in memory
clinics. We developed an ad hoc online survey to explore
practices and measures, relevance, and obstacles preventing
the use of socio-cognitive testing in clinics. The survey
was distributed within the SIGNATURE network. National
coordinators were identified to disseminate the survey to
local collaborators and scientific societies active in the
field of dementia and/or neuropsychology. Data were analysed
in aggregate form and stratified by geographical area and
variables of interest. Four hundred and thirteen (413)
responses from 10 European and Latin American geographical
regions were recorded. Responders were balanced between
physicians and psychologists. Seventy-eight (78) $\%$ of
respondents reported no/limited experience with
socio-cognitive measures; more than $85\%$ agreed on their
relevance in clinics. Ekman-60 faces was the most well-known
and/or used task, followed by the Faux-Pas and
Reading-the-Mind-in-the-Eyes tests. Lack of clinical
measures, assessment time, guidelines, and
education/training were reported as main obstacles.
Real-life barriers prevent the adoption of socio-cognitive
testing in clinics. Bidirectional collaboration between
clinicians and researchers is required to address clinical
needs and constraints and facilitate consistent
socio-cognitive assessment.},
