Abstract

Emotional prosody recognition refers to the process in which individuals infer the emotional states of others through the analysis of acoustic cues other than semantic ones in their discourse. We conducted two studies to explore the characteristics of emotional prosody recognition among college students with social delay. The results showed that: 1) The correct recognition rate of the prosody of disgust and fear in the delayed group was significantly lower than that in the control group. But there was no significant difference in recognition of other emotional prosody between the two groups. The ability to recognize happiness, anger, sadness, fear and disgust declined in turn similarly in the two groups. 2) When semantics and prosody had a conflict with each other, the delayed group was more susceptible to semantic interference than the control group.
