Correlation plots of clear emotional prosody comprehension with measures of social cognition across the patient cohort. This Figure shows how different standard measures of social cognition were correlated with total score on recognition of clear (natural) emotional prosody (see text) across syndromic groups, as follows: (A) correlation with the full modified Interpersonal Reactivity Index (mIRI); (B) correlation with the cognitive empathy subscale in mIRI; (C) correlation with the cognitive empathy (perspective taking) subscale in mIRI; (D) correlation with the full revised self-monitoring scale (RSMS); (E) correlation with the sensitivity to socio-emotional expressiveness RSMS subscale; (F) correlation with the monitoring self-presentation RSMS subscale. Spearman’s rank and p-value shown alongside each correlation line, bold green font indicates a significant correlation (p < 0.05). The percentage correct here is the percentage correct for clear emotional prosody (control task). Dots represent individual participants’ performance, with colours representing each syndromic diagnosis, as coded in the key (right); shading represents 95% confidence intervals. AD, Alzheimer’s disease; lvPPA, logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia; mIRI, modified Interpersonal Reactivity Index; nfvPPA, nonfluent variant primary progressive aphasia; RSMS, revised self-monitoring scale; svPPA, semantic variant primary progressive aphasia.
