Abstract
The aim of this research was to compare the processes of social cognition in adults with mild, moderate and severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). It was a descriptive, comparative, cross - sectional study, based on the evaluation of three processes of social cognition: Theory of mind, Emotional recognition and Moral judgment of 126 adults with TBI, with ages between 18-52 years evaluated in three cities of Colombia measured through three instruments: Faux Pas Test, Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test and moral dilemmas. Significant differences were found in the Faux Pas and in the eye test. It is concluded that people with TBI evaluated have an alteration in the theory of the mind and an average performance in emotional recognition and moral dilemmas.
