Abstract

To understand how cochlear implant processing affects emotional prosody recognition in tonal languages, how normal-hearing (NH) and cochlear-implanted (CI) adults identify four emotions ("angry," "happy," "sad," and "neutral") in short, semantically neutral, Mandarin sentences are compared. Depending on hearing status (CI, NH), adults heard natural speech and/or noise-vocoded speech conditions (4-, 8-, and 16-spectral channels). Results suggest that Mandarin-speaking adults with CIs recognize emotions with similar accuracy as NH listeners attending to spectrally degraded (4-channel) vocoded speech. The accuracy noted for Mandarin appears to be lower than that described in previous studies of English.

摘要

为了了解人工耳蜗处理如何影响声调语言的情感韵律识别，研究比较了正常听力（NH）和植入人工耳蜗（CI）的成年人如何在短的、语义中性的普通话句子中识别四种情绪（“生气”、“高兴”、“悲伤”和“中性”）。根据听力状况（CI、NH），成年人听到了自然语音和/或噪声编码语音条件（4、8 和 16 个声道）。结果表明，使用普通话的 CI 成年人识别情绪的准确性与关注频谱减损（4 声道）编码语音的 NH 听众相似。普通话的准确率似乎低于之前英语研究中描述的水平。
