PROBABILISTIC PREDICTING IN SPEECH IN DISTRESS AND AT THE NEUROTIC DISORDERS

Abstract

The present article provides the results obtained i n course of the empirical investigation on the prob abilistic predicting in the speech activity. The aim of the r esearch was to show the nature of interrelation bet ween the predicting abilities in the speech activity and sev erity of distress at the neurotic disorders. In cou rse of the research the following hypotheses were developed: ( 1) Predicting abilities in the speech activity corr elate to the severity of distress at the neurotic disorders; (2) degree of speech predicting disruption depends upon the neurotic disorder’s severity. The results of the re search have allowed to specify that the human body’s emotional and physiological tension in response to strong and long-lasting stress factor is accompanie d by impairment in predicting abilities in the speech ac tivity. The disruption of the probabilistic predict ing in the patients suffering from neurotic disorders complica tes anticipation of the forthcoming speech situatio n and causes the disruption in predicting of the speech m essage’s essence. It has been established that the neurotic disorders are followed by the disruption in the spe ech activity. However, the degree of disruptions de pends not only upon the distress severity, but also the p sychopathological symptoms’ manifestation rate and disorder’s intensity. The experience of negative st ress consequences curtails the predicting abilities in the speech activity both for the mentally healthy ones and suffering from neuroses, though, not equally: The disruptions in verbal predicting are more suffi cient at the neurotic disorders. The actualization peculiarities of the ideolexicon’s probabilistic st ructure are greatly changed under the influence of the morbid process development. The patients with comparatively non-profound neurotic disorders are able to perform predicting in the speech activity, where as the predicting incompetence is stated concerning the speech activity at the intensification of the disor der’s clinical evidences. It was concluded that the disruption of predicting the semantic relations in the verbal message in the persons suffering from th e greatly intensive distress causes anxiety in course of communication together with avoiding of psychotraumatic speech situations and that, in its turn, creates obstacles in communication and shapes readi ness for neurotic interpretation of the reality.
