Abstract
Little is known about emotion abstraction variation across neurotypical and clinical populations. A novel task is proposed to measure this concept. We predict several clinical traits may perform poorly on emotion abstraction tasks. This research will validate a novel task to examine emotion abstraction and its role in mental illness.
