Examining Emotional Responses to Speech in Noise Using Facial Expressions (PD102504)
Individuals with hearing loss experience negative psychosocial consequences such as distress, depression, and loneliness. If they also experience excessive negative emotional responses (i.e., confusion, frustration, anger) or reduced positive emotional responses (i.e., happiness) compared to listeners with normal hearing, they might be unmotivated to approach communication situations. This course describes a study whose purpose was to determine the feasibility of using facial expressions to measure emotional responses. Authors present data on facial expressions seen in individuals with normal hearing during speech-in-noise tasks with varying signal-to-noise ratios.
This course is a recorded technical research session from the 2021 ASHA Convention Virtual Library (session 4629V).
Learning Outcomes
You will be able to:
- Differentiate between emotion recognition and emotional response
- Express how facial expressions were used to measure emotional responses
