Introduction Speakers naturally produce prosodic variations depending on their emotional
state. Receptive prosody has several processing stages. We aimed to conduct lesion …

Purpose We aimed to:(a) review existing data on the neural basis of affective prosody;(b)
test the hypothesis that there are double dissociations in impairments of expression and …

Impaired expression of emotion through pitch, loudness, rate, and rhythm of speech
(affective prosody) is common and disabling after right hemisphere (RH) stroke. These …

Objective To determine whether right ventral stream and limbic structures (including
posterior superior temporal gyrus [STG], STG, temporal pole, inferior frontal gyrus pars …

Purpose 'Affective prosody'defines the supra-segmental features of speech that, when
manipulated, can change the type and intensity of emotion conveyed by the speaker …

Difficulty recognizing affective prosody (receptive aprosodia) can occur following right
hemisphere damage (RHD). Not all individuals spontaneously recover their ability to …

After a right hemisphere stroke, more than half of the patients are impaired in their capacity
to produce or comprehend speech prosody. Yet, and despite its social-cognitive …

Objectives The role of the right cerebral hemisphere in nonverbal speech activities remains
controversial. Most research supports the dominant role of the right hemisphere in the …

Background: Defects in expressing or understanding the affective or emotional tone of
speech (aprosodias) have been associated with right hemisphere dysfunction, while defects …

To evaluate the right hemisphere's role in encoding speech prosody, an acoustic
investigation of timing characteristics was undertaken in speakers with and without focal …
