Resumo: | We analyzed oral discourse production to identify the characteristics of language performance in healthy and pathological aging. Most studies have focused on performance in tasks eliciting discourse production through visual stimuli or interviews. Very little is known about the impact of aging-related factors on narrative recall, a complex task that requires comprehension of a narrative to reproduce it. In the present thesis, we address these issues in two studies. In the first study ? Automatic Assessment of Syntactic, Lexical and Semantic Aspects of Narrative Recall in Alzheimer?s Disease ?, we compared a group of participants diagnosed with Alzheimer?s Disease (AD) with that of a healthy elderly control group in syntactic, lexical and semantic aspects in a narrative recall task. To obtain the scores for the features related to these three aspects, we used a software that automatically analyzes linguistic features from discourse samples. Results indicate that features from all three aspects distinguish elderly adults diagnosed with AD from elderly adults with unimpaired cognition. The second study ? Education and Reading and Writing Habits as Predictors of Narrative Recall Performance in Healthy Aging: a Study with Automatic Assessment ? aimed at investigating the impact of education and reading and writing habits on recalls produced by healthy elderly adults. We adopted the same automatic analysis of Study 1. Results show that education influences performance on syntactic, lexical and semantic aspects of narrative recall. This stresses the importance of education as a source of cognitive reserve for linguistic performance in the elderly. Reading and writing habits did not influence performance in any of the features analyzed. Both studies suggest that the analysis of discourse production can be useful for the detection of changes in linguistic processing. The results from these two studies also indicate that task typology and group characteristics (such as the presence of cognitive impairment or low educational level) must be taken into consideration when investigating specific features of oral discourse production. |

Muitos estudos t?m focado no desempenho em tarefas que evocam produ??o discursiva atrav?s de est?mulos visuais ou entrevistas. Pouco se sabe sobre o impacto de fatores relacionados ao envelhecimento no reconto de narrativa, uma tarefa complexa que demanda compreens?o de uma narrativa para posterior reprodu??o. Na presente disserta??o, n?s avaliamos essas quest?es em dois estudos. No primeiro estudo ? Avalia??o Autom?tica de Aspectos Sint?ticos, Lexicais e Sem?nticos do Reconto de Narrativa na Doen?a de Alzheimer ?, n?s comparamos o desempenho de um grupo de participantes diagnosticados com Doen?a de Alzheimer (DA) com o de um grupo de idosos saud?veis em aspectos sint?ticos, lexicais e sem?nticos de uma tarefa de reconto de narrativa. Para obter os valores das m?tricas associadas a esses tr?s aspectos, n?s utilizamos um software que analisa automaticamente m?tricas de amostras de discursos. Os resultados indicam que m?tricas relacionadas aos tr?s aspectos lingu?sticos distinguem idosos diagnosticados com DA de idosos saud?veis. O segundo estudo ? Escolaridade e H?bitos de Leitura e Escrita como Preditores de Desempenho em Reconto de Narrativa no Envelhecimento Sadio: um Estudo com An?lise Autom?tica ?, teve por objetivo investigar o impacto da educa??o e dos h?bitos de leitura e escrita nos recontos produzidos por idosos saud?veis. N?s adotamos a mesma an?lise autom?tica do Estudo 1. Os resultados indicam que a escolaridade influenciou o desempenho nos aspectos sint?tico, lexical e sem?ntico do reconto de narrativa. Isso salienta a import?ncia da escolaridade como fonte de reserva cognitiva para o desempenho lingu?stico de idosos. Os h?bitos de leitura e escrita n?o influenciaram o desempenho em nenhuma das m?tricas analisadas. Ambos os estudos sugerem que a an?lise da produ??o de discurso pode ser ?til para a detec??o de mudan?as no processamento lingu?stico durante o envelhecimento. Os resultados desses dois estudos indicam tamb?m que a tipologia da tarefa e as caracter?sticas do grupo (como a presen?a de decl?nio cognitivo ou baixo n?vel de escolaridade) devem ser consideradas na investiga??o de m?tricas espec?ficas de produ??o de discurso oral.Submitted by PPG Letras (letraspg@pucrs.br) on 2020-06-09T19:43:16Z No. of bitstreams: 1 Disserta??o _ Anderson D.

We analyzed oral discourse production to identify the characteristics of language performance in healthy and pathological aging. Most studies have focused on performance in tasks eliciting discourse production through visual stimuli or interviews. Very little is known about the impact of aging-related factors on narrative recall, a complex task that requires comprehension of a narrative to reproduce it. In the present thesis, we address these issues in two studies. In the first study ? Automatic Assessment of Syntactic, Lexical and Semantic Aspects of Narrative Recall in Alzheimer?s Disease ?, we compared a group of participants diagnosed with Alzheimer?s Disease (AD) with that of a healthy elderly control group in syntactic, lexical and semantic aspects in a narrative recall task. To obtain the scores for the features related to these three aspects, we used a software that automatically analyzes linguistic features from discourse samples. Results indicate that features from all three aspects distinguish elderly adults diagnosed with AD from elderly adults with unimpaired cognition. The second study ? Education and Reading and Writing Habits as Predictors of Narrative Recall Performance in Healthy Aging: a Study with Automatic Assessment ? aimed at investigating the impact of education and reading and writing habits on recalls produced by healthy elderly adults. We adopted the same automatic analysis of Study 1. Results show that education influences performance on syntactic, lexical and semantic aspects of narrative recall. This stresses the importance of education as a source of cognitive reserve for linguistic performance in the elderly. Reading and writing habits did not influence performance in any of the features analyzed. Both studies suggest that the analysis of discourse production can be useful for the detection of changes in linguistic processing. The results from these two studies also indicate that task typology and group characteristics (such as the presence of cognitive impairment or low educational level) must be taken into consideration when investigating specific features of oral discourse production. |
