The ‘Reading the Mind in the Voice’test-revised: a study of complex emotion recognition in adults with and without autism spectrum conditions

Abstract

This study reports a revised version of the 'Reading the Mind in the Voice' (RMV) task. The original task (Rutherford et al., (2002), Journal of Autism and Developmental Disorders, 32, 189-194) suffered from ceiling effects and limited sensitivity. To improve that, the task was shortened and two more foils were added to each of the remaining items. About 50 adults with Asperger Syndrome (AS) or High Functioning Autism (HFA) and 22 matched controls took the revised task. Results show the revised task has good reliability and validity, is harder, and more sensitive in distinguishing the AS/HFA group from controls. Verbal IQ was positively correlated with performance, and females performed worse than males in the AS/HFA group. Results are discussed with regard to multi modal empathizing deficits in autism spectrum conditions (ASC).

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • Perception of prosody is decreased in individuals with ASD.

    “when low-level features that are built on pitch but that are socially and communicatively relevant (such as in prosody) are examined, a striking decrease in perception in individuals with ASD emerges (Golan et al., 2006; Golan et al., 2007; Järvinen-Pasley et al., 2008b; Kleinman et al., 2001; Lindner and Rosén, 2006; Mazefsky and Oswald, 2007; Peppé et al., 2007; Philip et al., 2010)”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
