With proper care, it helps to prevent behavioural and psychological deterioration, improve quality of life for the elderly.
For children with developmental disorders characterized by difficulties with social interaction and communication, emotion recognition can detect non-social cues such as depression, loneliness, and low self-esteem. This helps determine appropriate behavioural and speech therapies. Use of affect-laden stories and memories of personal emotional experiences may help psychiatrists and psychologists determine the cause of a developmental disorder.
