Age and Sex Differences in Infants' Neural Sensitivity to Emotional Prosodies in Spoken Words: A Multifeature Oddball Study.
Purpose: This study aimed to investigate infants' neural responses to changes in emotional prosody in spoken words. The focus was on understanding developmental changes and potential sex differences, aspects that were not consistently observed in previous behavioral studies.
Method: A modified multifeature oddball paradigm was used with emotional deviants (angry, happy, and sad) presented against neutral prosody (standard) within varying spoken words during a single electroencephalography recording session. The reported data included 34 infants (18 males, 16 females; age range: 3-12 months, average age: 7 months 26 days).
Results: Infants exhibited distinct patterns of mismatch responses (MMRs) to different emotional prosodies in both early (100-200 ms) and late (300-500 ms) time windows following the speech onset. While both happy and angry prosodies elicited more negative early MMRs than the sad prosody across all infants, older infants showed more negative early MMRs than their younger counterparts. The distinction between early MMRs to angry and sad prosodies was more pronounced in younger infants. In the late time window, angry prosody elicited a more negative late MMR than the sad prosody, with younger infants showing more distinct late MMRs to sad and angry prosodies compared to older infants. Additionally, a sex effect was observed as male infants displayed more negative early MMRs compared to females.
Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the feasibility of the modified multifeature oddball protocol in studying neural sensitivities to emotional speech in infancy. The observed age and sex effects on infants' auditory neural responses to vocal emotions underscore the need for further research to distinguish between acoustic and emotional processing and to understand their roles in early socioemotional and language development.
期刊介绍：
Mission: JSLHR publishes peer-reviewed research and other scholarly articles on the normal and disordered processes in speech, language, hearing, and related areas such as cognition, oral-motor function, and swallowing. The journal is an international outlet for both basic research on communication processes and clinical research pertaining to screening, diagnosis, and management of communication disorders as well as the etiologies and characteristics of these disorders. JSLHR seeks to advance evidence-based practice by disseminating the results of new studies as well as providing a forum for critical reviews and meta-analyses of previously published work.
Scope: The broad field of communication sciences and disorders, including speech production and perception; anatomy and physiology of speech and voice; genetics, biomechanics, and other basic sciences pertaining to human communication; mastication and swallowing; speech disorders; voice disorders; development of speech, language, or hearing in children; normal language processes; language disorders; disorders of hearing and balance; psychoacoustics; and anatomy and physiology of hearing.
