Senile patients were compared to normal elderly people for visual and auditory affect recognition. The study consisted of eight conditions, with the subjects prompted verbally to point to happy, sad and angry pictures in the first five. The pictures consisted of expressive faces, expressive postures with blank faces and matching facial and postural expressions in Conditions 1-3, respectively. The facial and postural expressions conflicted in Conditions 4 and 5, with the facial expressions redundant in Condition 4 and the postures redundant in Condition 5. Conditions 6 and 7 were the same as the first two, except that the subjects were prompted by use of taped, affective voice intonations. In Condition 8, the subjects were requested to identify each of the affectively intoned prompts. The findings revealed a consistent level difference between the groups, with the senile elderly demonstrating both visual and auditory affective agnosia. These impairments in emotional recognition were affect-specific and they tended to confound one another. Finally, there was a subgroup of normals that was somewhat deficient in visual and auditory affect recognition.
将老年患者与正常老年人进行视觉和听觉情感识别方面的比较。该研究包括八种情况，在前五种情况中，通过口头提示让受试者指出快乐、悲伤和愤怒的图片。在情况1 - 3中，图片分别由表情丰富的面部、面部空白的表情姿势以及匹配的面部和姿势表情组成。在情况4和5中，面部和姿势表情相互冲突，情况4中面部表情多余，情况5中姿势多余。情况6和7与前两种相同，只是通过录制的情感语调提示受试者。在情况8中，要求受试者识别每个带有情感语调的提示。研究结果显示两组之间存在一致的水平差异，老年患者表现出视觉和听觉情感失认。这些情感识别障碍具有情感特异性，并且往往相互混淆。最后，有一组正常受试者在视觉和听觉情感识别方面也存在一定程度的缺陷。
