摘要

Previous studies have shown that cochlear-implanted (CI) children have big difficulty in vocal emotion recognition in comparison to the normal-hearing peers, mainly due to the lack of efficient coding of fundamental frequency (F0) in the CI devices, but few research has been conducted on preschool CI children, and even fewer on CI children speaking Mandarin, a tone language in which F0 conveys both lexical tone and emotion related intonation. The present study compared vocal emotion recognition between two groups of 4-to-5-year-old Mandarin-speaking children, i.e., CI and normal-hearing (NH) groups. Six semantically neutral sentences were recorded by a female speaker in three basic emotions, i.e., anger, joy, and sadness, among which anger and joy showed greater mean F0, F0 variability and F0 range than sadness. The children were asked to judge the type of emotion from the recorded utterances. For all three emotions, the CI group showed significantly lower recognition accuracy and longer reaction time than the NH group. The confusion mainly occurred between anger and joy in the NH group, while all three emotions were mutually confused in the CI group, confirming that Mandarin-speaking CI children were impaired in perceiving vocal emotions due to the lack of F0 processing ability.
