چکیده

The present studies explored the role of prosody in motivating others, and applied self-determination theory (Ryan & Deci, 2000) to do so. Initial studies describe patterns of prosody that discriminate motivational speech. Autonomy support was expressed with lower intensity, slower speech rate and less voice energy in both motivationally laden and neutral (but motivationally primed) sentences. In a follow-up study, participants were able to recognize motivational prosody in semantically neutral sentences, suggesting prosody alone may carry motivational content. Findings from subsequent studies also showed that an autonomy-supportive as compared with a controlling tone facilitated positive personal (perceived choice and lower perceived pressure, well-being) and interpersonal (closeness to others and prosocial behaviors) outcomes commonly linked to this type of motivation. Results inform both the social psychology (in particular motivation) and psycho-linguistic (in particular prosody) literatures and offer a first description of how motivational tone alone can shape listeners' experiences.

The Relation between Perceptual and Clinical Parameters of Voice Quality of Patients with Early Glottic Cancer before and after Radiotherapy and of Normal Speakers

From a theoretical point of view it seems trivial to state that there exists a relation between perception of voice aspects and physically measurable parameters: what you can hear, you should be able to measure and vice versa: what you do measure, you should be able to hear. In practice this assumption is not supported by research: judgements based on auditory perception can be related to acous...

Pavlovian conditioning-induced hallucinations result from overweighting of perceptual priors.

Some people hear voices that others do not, but only some of those people seek treatment. Using a Pavlovian learning task, we induced conditioned hallucinations in four groups of people who differed orthogonally in their voice-hearing and treatment-seeking statuses. People who hear voices were significantly more susceptible to the effect. Using functional neuroimaging and computational modeling...
