When Depressed, It’s Sometimes Hard to Hear Emotion

Background noise can interfere with understanding what someone is saying, and new research indicates that blue individuals find it more difficult to hear almost any emotive language in such scenarios not only negatively tinged language. Lots of research has indicated that these individuals with raised depression symptoms have a prejudice towards negative understanding of info in this type of environment, said researcher Zilong Xie, a graduate student in the University of Texas at Austin. Researchers clarify that when a listener has difficulty understanding the language of someone else, the wellspring of dislocation may be put into one of two types: informational masking or dynamic masking. In dynamic masking, sounds from peripheral sources including passing planes or building sites interfere with speech perception. In informational masking, the hindrance comes from cognitive and linguistic sources, including the background din of human dialogue. Interestingly, than does dynamic maskin
