Parkinson's disease (PD) is linked to impairments for recognizing emotional expressions, although the extent and nature of these communication deficits are uncertain. Here, we compared how adults with and without PD recognize dynamic expressions of emotion in three channels, involving lexical-semantic, prosody, and/or facial cues (each channel was investigated individually and in combination). Results indicated that while emotion recognition increased with channel availability in the PD group, patients performed significantly worse than healthy participants in all conditions. Difficulties processing dynamic emotional stimuli in PD could be linked to striatal dysfunction, which reduces efficient binding of sequential information in the disease.
帕金森病(PD)与识别情绪表达的能力受损有关,尽管这些沟通缺陷的程度和性质尚不确定。在这里,我们比较了有无 PD 的成年人如何在三个通道中识别情绪的动态表达,涉及词汇语义、韵律和/或面部线索(每个通道分别进行了研究,也进行了组合研究)。结果表明,虽然在 PD 组中,情绪识别随着通道的可用性而增加,但在所有条件下,患者的表现明显逊于健康参与者。在 PD 中处理动态情绪刺激的困难可能与纹状体功能障碍有关,纹状体功能障碍会降低疾病中序列信息的有效结合。
