Social Cognition Training for Huntington's Disease

This study is exploring a behavioral intervention called Social Cognition Training for individuals with Huntington's Disease (HD). Social cognition refers to the skills that help us understand other people's thoughts and feelings, like recognizing emotions from faces or voices. This training aims to improve these skills, which can be challenging for people with HD and impact their social interactions and well-being. To join, you must be between 18 and 65 years old, have a genetic diagnosis of HD, and be a native English speaker. The study will measure how many people are willing to consider and complete the training, and how easy they find it. The study is currently unclear about its recruitment status and plans to enroll 20 participants.
