“Objective: As there are few means to stop the progression of dementia after its onset, it is important to delay or prevent the transition from mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia.

Results: A one-second delay in the time to recognize emotions through voices was associated with an approximately 34-fold

increase in the risk of MCI.

·         Conclusion: Using vocal recognition assessment was considered to be effective for early screening of MCI.”

·         Outcome measures.

In this study, we examined whether vocal recognition

evaluation, which uses the time from speech presentation to judging the emotion of speech an evaluation, could be

effective for MCI screening (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

Inclusion and Exclusion criteria identified

did not provide a list of the studies that were included and eliminated (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

Objectives were clearly stated. As the vocal recognition assessment screening test and MoCA-J are both screening tests for mild cognitive impairment, therefore evaluate MCI early (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

The purpose of this study was to determine if vocal recognition assessment, which assesses speech emotion after it has been presented, may be useful for MCI screening (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

 Objective: It is crucial to postpone or halt the shift from moderate cognitive impairment (MCI) to dementia since there are few ways to block dementia’s development once it has begun.

Results: A 34-fold increase in the risk of MCI was shown to be connected with a one-second delay in the ability to detect emotions in speech.

Conclusion: The use of voice recognition testing was proven to be beneficial for the early detection of MCI (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

The control group was not present.

There was no double-blinding or randomization.

There are no follow-up studies.

·         Female patient characteristics, including ages and outcomes, were given (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

·         The intervention was well described

·         In conclusion, findings and materials approaches are defined.

Hypothesis: It is uncertain if there is a link between perceiving another person’s emotions in a speech via auditory cues such as speech prosody and MCI (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

There was no control group or randomization.

Vocal identification tests included the use of voice samples that represented four distinct emotions: acceptance, rejection, bluffing, and joking (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

Results: A 34-fold increase in the risk of MCI was shown to be connected with a one-second delay in the ability to detect emotions in speech (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

Conclusion: Vocal recognition testing was thought to be useful for MCI early detection (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

P values and hypotheses were presented.

The characteristics of the patients, therapies, and results were all reported.

Methods and studies

To screen for MCI, the Japanese version of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA-J) was employed. By neurologist consultation and Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Japanese scores, participants were separated into two groups (Mayumi Horie et al., 2022).

Weakness:

The institution where this research was conducted was in Japan; clearly, our healthcare system is not comparable to that of this nation, therefore that is something to consider (Liang et al., 2022).
