痴呆症是一种常见的神经退行性疾病，涉及认知和沟通能力的下降。在痴呆症患者的讲话中停顿是一种不流畅的现象，可能会被用来表示社交中的对话问题。这项研究的目的是使用Calpy计算语音处理工具包检查DementiaBank数据库中痴呆症患者和健康对照组(HCS)图片描述样本中的语音停顿特征。研究对象为60名讲英语的受试者，年龄在53岁至88岁之间(男性67.43岁，标准差8.33岁；女性42名)：轻度认知障碍20名，中度认知障碍20名，轻度认知障碍20名。定量分析显示，HCS、轻度痴呆组和中度痴呆组之间的暂停时间分别递增。
Dementia is a common neurodegenerative condition involving the deterioration of cognitive and communication skills. Pausing in the speech of people with dementia is a dysfluency that may be used to signal conversational trouble in social interaction. This study aimed to examine the speech-pausing profile within picture description samples from people with dementia and healthy controls (HCs) within the DementiaBank database using the Calpy computational speech processing toolkit. Sixty English-speaking participants between the ages of 53 and 88 years (Mage = 67.43, SD = 8.33; 42 females) were included in the study: 20 participants with mild cognitive impairment, 20 participants with moderate cognitive impairment, and 20 HCs. Quantitative analysis shows a progressive increase in the duration of pausing between HCs, the mild dementia group, and the moderate dementia group, respectively.
