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.},
