Understanding the emotions of others through speech in people with dementia
Description: It is important to delay or prevent the transition from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia. In this study, I examined whether vocal recognition evaluation, which uses the time from speech presentation to judging the emotion of speech as an evaluation, could be effective for MCI screening.The results showed that a one-second delay in the time to recognize emotions through voices was associated with an approximately 34-fold increase in the risk of MCI.Using vocal recognition assessment was considered to be effective for early screening of MCI.
