Emotion through cognition: The role of cognitive limitations in shaping emotional speech identification among adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities
Recognising emotions in speech is vital for social interactions. Adults with intellectual disabilities (AwID) often experience difficulties with emotion perception, affecting integration. However, less is known about spoken-emotion processing among AwID. The current research examines whether difficulties stem from a primary impairment in emotional processing associated with intellectual disability (ID) or a secondary impairment due to cognitive l…
Sign language adaptation of the Depression Anxiety Stress Scales — 21 (Dass-21)
Despite the heterogeneity of the deaf population, research shows that deaf individuals experience a high incidence of mental health problems, with high reports of depression and anxiety. This emphasizes the importance of ensuring appropriate mental health therapy. Assessment tools presented in written language or translated spontaneously into sign language could result in misdiagnosis or miscommunication due to linguistic and cultural mismatches.…
Age-related differences in processing of emotions in speech disappear with babble noise in the background
Older adults process emotional speech differently than young adults, relying less on prosody (tone) relative to semantics (words). This study aimed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying these age-related differences via an emotional speech-in-noise test. A sample of 51 young and 47 older adults rated spoken sentences with emotional content on both prosody and semantics, presented on the background of wideband speech-spectrum noise (sensory inter…
Processing emotional prosody in a foreign language: The case of German and Hebrew
This study investigated the universality of emotional prosody in perception of discrete emotions when semantics is not available. In two experiments the perception of emotional prosody in Hebrew and German by listeners who speak one of the languages but not the other was investigated. Having a parallel tool in both languages allowed to conduct controlled comparisons. In Experiment 1, 39 native German speakers with no knowledge of Hebrew and 80 na…
