Patients with AD experience disfluency, a high number of pauses, and repetition in speech, which is attributed to lexical retrieval difficulties due to cognitive decline [19]. Therefore, pauses are often used to analyze the speech and language of AD patients in order to assess their cognitive level [7,20,21].
