摘要：The current research focused on the association between emotional processing, cognitive impairment and pseudobulbar affect. The study also investigated the moderating role of emotional processing with cognitive impairment and pseudobulbar affect. The purposive sample of individuals exhibiting pseudobulbar affect (N = 150) were selected, 52 males (M = 25.72, SD = 4.91) and 98 females (M= 24.61, SD = 5.17), with the age range of 18 and above (M= 27.4, SD= 9.62) from hospitals of Azad Jammu and Kashmir and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Emotional Processing Scale, Center for Neurologic Study Lability Scale for pseudobulbar affect and Montreal Cognitive Assessment for measurement of Cognitive Impairment were used. Findings indicated that emotional processing was significantly positively associated with cognitive impairment and pseudobulbar affect. Results also showed that both cognitive impairment and pseudobulbar affect were significantly positively correlated. Moreover, it is also revealed that emotional processing acted as a positive moderator in the relationship of cognitive impairment and pseudobulbar affect.
