Abstract
The article is devoted to the specifics of emotion recognition by facial expression in old age and its biopsychosocial predictors. It is shown that at a later age there are subtle socio-cognitive problems. The 75-90-year-old respondents were less able to cope with the task of accurate recognition of emotions by the expression of another person's face compared to the 55-60-year-old and 61-74-year-old respondents. Start-ing from 61-74 years, there is a slowdown in response time in the recog-nition of emotional stimuli. In the elderly and senile age there is a high threshold effect in the recognition of positive and negative emotions. It is shown that the high intensity of facial expressions contributes to better recognition of negative emotions (fear, anger, sadness). Emotional heterogeneity in recognition of emotions is shown. At a later age, no errors were found in the recognition of joy. In contrast to old-old (75-90 years) to old age (55-60 and 61-74 years) better recognized the emotion of fear and sadness. Different forms of cognitive bias at a later age are distinguished: General (symptoms of depression, feeling of loneliness, quality of life, subjective age) and age-specific (polymorbidity, cognitive functioning), predictors influencing recognition of emotions in the face in the elderly and senile age are Differentiated
