AI Article Synopsis
- Asperger's syndrome (AS) is a type of autism spectrum disorder marked by significant challenges in social interaction, particularly in emotional reciprocity.
- A study examining how adolescents with AS (12 participants) compared to typically developing adolescents (15 participants) recognize basic emotions in speech found that both groups performed similarly in identifying emotions like happy, sad, angry, and neutral.
- The results suggest that the ability to recognize basic emotions from speech may develop during childhood, rather than being entirely impaired in those with AS.
Article Abstract
Asperger's syndrome (AS) belongs to the group of autism spectrum disorders and is characterized by deficits in social interaction, as manifested e.g. by the lack of social or emotional reciprocity. The disturbance causes clinically significant impairment in social interaction. Abnormal prosody has been frequently identified as a core feature of AS. There are virtually no studies on recognition of basic emotions from speech. This study focuses on how adolescents with AS (n=12) and their typically developed controls (n=15) recognize the basic emotions happy, sad, angry, and 'neutral' from speech prosody. Adolescents with AS recognized basic emotions from speech prosody as well as their typically developed controls did. Possibly the recognition of basic emotions develops during the childhood.
