Speech pause and speech rate for evaluating Alzheimer’s and mild cognitive impairment: A meta-analysis
Of the many ways that speech can be objectified, pauses appear particularly important for understanding cognition in AD. Pause analysis has the benefit of being face valid, interpretable in ratio format as a reaction time, tied to known socio-cognitive functions, and relatively easy to measure, compute, and interpret. Automation of speech analysis can greatly expand the assessment of AD and potentially improve early identification of one of the most devastating and costly diseases affecting humans.
