[A comparison of the dynamic speech indices and traditional autonomic correlates of emotions in 9- to 10-year-old children during play].

Emotional state of children aged 9-10 was studied during computer play: 1) under conditions of free choice of individual strategy, 2) time deficit, and 3) after demonstration of techniques of play without limitation in time. Prior and during the play the following parameters were recorded: heart rate, galvanic skin response, frequency of basic tone and evaluation of the first formant frequency of the vowel "a" in the word "da" pronounced by the child during the play in response to acoustic signal; time of speech reaction to acoustic signal, parameters of playing activity, and spontaneous verbal expressions of children. Analysis and comparison of the obtained data allowed us to characterize specific features of interaction of motivational, emotional, and cognitive processes under different playing conditions.
