Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Aprosodia refers to a deficit in the ability to understand or express emotions conveyed in tone of voice. The fact that Stewie is unable to understand the sarcastic tone in Brian's statement suggests that he has receptive aprosodia, which affects the ability to understand emotional tone conveyed by others. Expressive aprosodia would affect the ability to convey emotions through one's own tone of voice, ideational and ideomotor apraxia are unrelated to the understanding and expression of emotions through tone of voice.
