Abstract
Abstract This study aimed to understand the impact of the prosodic deficit in Parkinson’s disease (PD) on the communicative effectiveness of vocal expression of emotion. Fourteen patients with PD and 13 healthy control subjects (HC) uttered the phrase “non è possible, non ora” (“It is not possible, not now”) six times reading different emotional narrations. Three experts evaluated the PD subjects’ vocal production in terms of their communicative effectiveness. The PD patients were divided into two groups: PD+ (with residual effectiveness) and PD− (with impaired effectiveness). The vocal productions were administered to 30 naïve listeners. They were requested to label the emotion they recognized and to make judgments about their communicative effectiveness. The PD speakers were perceived as less effective than the HC speakers in conveying emotions (especially fear and anger). The PD− group was the most impaired in the expression of emotion, suggesting that speech disorders impact differently at the same stage of the disease with varying degrees of severity.
摘要本研究旨在了解帕金森病(PD)韵律缺陷对声音情绪表达沟通有效性的影响。14名PD患者和13名健康对照者(HC)在阅读不同的情绪叙述时6次说出“non è possible, non ora”(“这是不可能的,不是现在”)。三位专家对PD受试者的发声效果进行了评估。PD患者分为两组:PD+(剩余有效性)和PD−(有效性受损)。声乐作品被分配给30名naïve听众。他们被要求给自己识别的情绪贴上标签,并对自己的沟通效果做出判断。PD演讲者被认为在表达情绪(尤其是恐惧和愤怒)方面不如HC演讲者有效。PD -组在情感表达方面受损最严重,这表明在疾病的同一阶段,不同程度的严重程度,语言障碍的影响是不同的。
