“…In fact, human beings are geared to quickly recognize emotion change in vocal expressions. For instance, it was found that deviant emotional notes, which lead to emotion change in oddball paradigm, elicited early negative responses (MMN) around 200 ms in passive condition (Goydke et al 2004;Jiang et al 2014;Schirmer and Escoffier 2010;Schirmer et al 2008;Schirmer et al 2005;Thonnessen et al 2010). In contrast, deviant emotional notes elicited a late positive deflection (P300) in active oddball paradigm (Thierry and Roberts 2007;).…”

How task focus affects recognition of change in vocal emotion remains in debate. In this study, we investigated the role of task focus for change detection in emotional prosody by measuring changes in event-related electroencephalogram (EEG) power. EEG was recorded for prosodies with and without emotion change while subjects performed emotion change detection task (explicit) and visual probe detection task (implicit). We found that vocal emotion change induced theta event-related synchronization during 100-600 ms regardless of task focus. More importantly, vocal emotion change induced significant beta event-related desynchronization during 400-750 ms under explicit instead of implicit task condition. These findings suggest that the detection of emotional changes is independent of task focus, while the task focus effect in neural processing of vocal emotion change is specific to the integration of emotional deviations.

“…Emotional prosody conveyed in speech by modulating acoustic properties (e.g., pitch, intensity, and duration) is particularly important for understanding the speaker's emotional state and intentions for successful communication (Dietrich et al 2006). Early emotional prosody perception has been investigated broadly in cognitive neuroscience studies both on normal adults (Liu et al 2012;Sauter and Eimer 2010) and patients, such as those with Williams syndrome (Pinheiro et al 2011) and Asperger's syndrome (Kujala et al 2005), with methods such as event-related potentials (ERP) (Goydke et al 2004), magnetoencephalography (MEG) (Thönnessen et al 2010).…”

“…In this case, whether these mismatch responses evoked in traditional emotional prosody oddball studies (Goydke et al 2004;Schirmer et al 2005) only reflect the detection of prosodic emotional category remains to be a question. The changes from standards to emotional deviants are not only in emotional category but also in physical properties of the sounds (e.g., intensity, pitch, phonological sequences, and so on), and both of them may be responsible for the observed MMNs (Thönnessen et al 2010;Zevin et al 2010). MMNs have been proved to be sensitive to salient changes in the habituation paradigm.…”

“…When the standard stimuli keep changing physically, emotional category could be the only reliable cue to detect deviants. Thönnessen et al (2010) used 14 neutral disyllabic pseudo-words presented randomly as standard stimuli in a MEG study. The common feature shared by the standards was their neutral emotion, the deviant stimulus can only be detected by the change in emotional category.…”

In this study, we tested the underlying mechanisms of early emotional prosody perception, especially examined whether change detection in oddball paradigm was caused by emotional category and physical properties. Using implicit oddball paradigms, the current study manipulated the cues for detecting deviant stimuli from standards in three conditions: the simultaneous changes in emotional category and physical properties (EP condition), change in emotional category alone (E condition), and change in physical properties alone (P condition). ERP results revealed that physical property change increased brain responses to deviant stimuli in the EP than in the E condition at early stage 90-160 ms, suggesting that physical property change of emotional sounds can also be detected at the early stage. At the later stage 160-260 ms, the simultaneous and respective changes in emotional category and physical properties were reliably detected, and the sum of the brain responses to the corresponding changes in E and P conditions was equal to the brain responses to the simultaneous changes in EP condition. Source analysis further revealed that stimuli-driven regions (inferior parietal lobule), temporal and frontal cortices were activated at early stage, while only frontal cortices for higher cognitive processing were activated at later stage. These findings suggest that emotional prosody changes in physical properties and emotion category are perceived as domain-general change information in emotional prosody perception.

“…De hecho, se ha observado que las categorías emocionales de las frases se procesan más rápidamente (200 ms), en comparación con otros componentes del lenguaje como la semántica o sintaxis. Cabe pensar que la rapidez del procesamiento de la PE permite captar y evaluar de forma automática las señales sociales del entorno (Thönnessen et al, 2010). En cuanto a la IE, se observó que un alto nivel de la misma facilitaba un procesamiento emocional más rápido (Dodonova y Dodonov, 2012).…”

Facultad de Psicología de la UCM, Madrid. España. Contacto del autor inesbarb@ucm.es RESUMENEn la comunicación oral, la prosodia emocional (PE) nos revela gran parte de la información del mensaje, por ello cabe esperar que la inteligencia emocional (IE) facilite la comprensión del mismo. De hecho, los componentes de la IE son susceptibles de aprendizaje, por ello el estudio de sus mecanismos resulta indispensable. A su vez, la PE modula el procesamiento sintáctico, semántico y la comprensión textual. Sin embargo, pocos estudios han contrastado la influencia de la PE en el procesamiento lingüístico de personas con distinta IE. El objetivo de este estudio piloto es demostrar cómo la IE proporciona una ventaja a la hora de resolver conflictos de índole lingüística. Los sujetos con mayor IE deberían ser más eficientes en la resolución de las incongruencias prosódico-semánticas, optimizando su rendimiento en situaciones naturales de comunicación y aprendizaje.Palabras clave: inteligencia emocional, prosodia, comprensión, lenguaje ABSTRACTIn spoken language, emotional prosody reveals much of the important information of the speech; therefore it is expected that emotional intelligence plays a key role when comprising it. As emotional intelligence components can be learned, it is fundamental to understand its 67 (especial) 2017: 66-71 mechanisms. Added, EP is involved in syntactic and semantic processing, and textual comprehension. Nevertheless, few studies have contrasted the role of EP in language processing between people with diverse emotional intelligence. The aim of this pilot study is to come up with how IE it is an advantage when solving linguistic conflicts. We expect that subjects with higher IE should be more efficient solving prosodic-semantic inconsistencies, optimizing their performance. Barbero-Jiménez, I y Noguer-Calabús, I..

INTRODUCCIÓNEn la comunicación oral, la prosodia emocional (PE) nos revela gran parte de la información del mensaje, por ello cabe esperar que la inteligencia emocional (IE) facilite la comprensión del mismo. Así, la PE extra-lingüística modula, a través del tono, el significado del lenguaje, aumentando o disminuyendo la emotividad del mensaje. Este componente ha sido ampliamente ignorado, aun cuando tiene gran relevancia en la comprensión lingüística. No
