Verbigeration

Detect verbigeration in speech transcripts by classifying fragments as VERB or NO-VERB using repetition thresholds and scratchpad rules across contexts. This automated evaluation returns a structured rationale and severity score to support clinical assessment.

Verbigeration in clinical psycholinguistics is the pathological repetition of words or phrases in speech. This Skill identifies these episodes in interview fragments by applying clinical criteria to determine if the speech qualifies as VERB.

Classify speech fragments for verbigeration severity by evaluating the repetition threshold against the last interviewer utterance. The Skill generates a severity score and rationale while applying exclusion criteria to ensure accurate clinical assessment.

Automate verbigeration frequency analysis across cohorts by processing interview transcripts to label episodes VERB or NO-VERB. The structured evaluation yields quantifiable frequency and severity metrics for clinical research.

Verbigeration detection requires the last interviewer utterance as a criterion to contextualize the speech fragment. Applying this contextual baseline ensures the scratchpad rules accurately differentiate between VERB and NO-VERB classifications.
