Two studies were conducted in order to determine whether the poor performance of RHD patients on emotional prosody tasks could be attributed to a defect in perceiving/categorizing emotional prosody (processing defect) or to a problem in being distracted by the semantic content of affectively intoned sentences (distraction defect). In one study, patients with RHD, LHD or NHD listened to affectively intoned sentences in which the semantic content was congruent or incongruent with the emotional prosody. In a second study, the patients listened to affectively intoned sentences that had been speech filtered or unfiltered. Findings from these studies indicate that both processing and distraction defects are present in RHD patients.
为了确定风湿性心脏病（RHD）患者在情感韵律任务中的不佳表现是可归因于感知/分类情感韵律方面的缺陷（加工缺陷）还是被情感语调句子的语义内容分散注意力方面的问题（注意力分散缺陷），进行了两项研究。在一项研究中，患有RHD、左侧半球损伤（LHD）或无脑部损伤（NHD）的患者听情感语调句子，其中语义内容与情感韵律一致或不一致。在第二项研究中，患者听经过语音过滤或未经过滤的情感语调句子。这些研究的结果表明，RHD患者同时存在加工缺陷和注意力分散缺陷。
