Abstract

We studied 25 participants within 24 hours of acute right hemisphere ischemic stroke and 17 age and education matched hospitalized controls on tests of comprehension of affective prosody. Stroke patients were significantly more impaired than controls in identifying sarcasm versus sincerity in sentences and identifying affective prosody in sentences, monosyllables, and asyllabic utterances, and in discriminating differences in affective prosody in sentences. Impairments in prosodic comprehension were most associated with acute tissue dysfunction in right posterior frontal cortex, posterior inferior temporal cortex, and thalamus.
