Digital and self‐reported reading measures in Brazilians with Alzheimer's disease: An exploratory correlational study
We found that the lower the reading proficiency, the higher the fundamental frequency. This suggests a possible relationship between self-perception of reading ability and motor aspects of speech, more specifically voice. These are preliminary results from an exploratory study to better understand the value of digital speech markers. Future analyses with a larger sample and more sophisticated analysis will be conducted, controlling for potential confounders such as age, education level, and disease severity.
