Nonverbal emotional recognition of face and voice in children with ADHD and depression

Abstract

We discuss nonverbal emotional recognition of the children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and with depression. Children were classified into three groups, with ADHD, with depression and normal controls, and each group consisted of sixteen children of which the age ranges from eight to thirteen years. The participants made the pleasant-unpleasant rating of the emotional cues from the pictures of facial expression and the voice recordings. In addition, to examine the cognitive bias, we compared each group's ratings of nine facial and nine vocal expressions as one of positive, neutral and negative emotion. From the results, it was found that the children with ADHD were significantly less accurate at recognizing the facial expression than the normal controls. However, we could not find the statistically significant differences in the facial expression between the depression group and normal control group. For the vocal expression, no significant differences were found between each group. In addition, it was shown that the depression group tended to rate the negative facial expressions more positively than the normal control group. On the basis of the results, it can be concluded that ADHD group's nonverbal decoding errors are originated from the failure in attending stimulus whereas depression group's errors are resulted from the biased perception of emotion.
