چکیده
Along with less snow and blooming crocuses, another sign of winter's retreat is the spring issue of the Canadian Geri-atrics Journal. We are pleased to present a series of articles that investigate gerontological issues in a series of different environments including acute care, the classroom, and the ambulance bay. Dr. McAiney has performed a detailed examination of the prevalence of delirium in a hospital setting. Hirst et al. have studied the amount of geriatric content in Canadian nursing and social work degree programs. A narrative systematic review of the concept of frailty in the prehospital setting is presented by Goldstein et al. We hope you enjoy our spring issue!

The ability to read and appropriately respond to emotions in others is central for successful social interaction. Young and older adults are better at identifying positive than negative facial expressions and also expressions of young than older faces. Little, however, is known about the neural processes associated with reading different emotions, particularly in faces of different ages, in sam...
متن کاملHow reward modulates mimicry: EMG evidence of greater facial mimicry of more rewarding happy faces.
Spontaneous mimicry is a marker of empathy. Conditions characterized by reduced spontaneous mimicry (e.g., autism) also display deficits in sensitivity to social rewards. We tested if spontaneous mimicry of socially rewarding stimuli (happy faces) depends on the reward value of stimuli in 32 typical participants. An evaluative conditioning paradigm was used to associate different reward values ...
متن کاملPerceptual, categorical, and affective processing of ambiguous smiling facial expressions.
Why is a face with a smile but non-happy eyes likely to be interpreted as happy? We used blended expressions in which a smiling mouth was incongruent with the eyes (e.g., angry eyes), as well as genuine expressions with congruent eyes and mouth (e.g., both happy or angry). Tasks involved detection of a smiling mouth (perceptual), categorization of the expression (semantic), and valence evaluati...
