两个实验检验了听者从说话者的非语言内容中做出准确推断的能力。在实验1中，天真的听众听到男性和女性说话者清晰地表达两个测试句子，并试图从一对照片中选择哪张照片描绘的是说话者。平均而言，他们选择正确照片的几率为76.5%。所有人的表现都比运气好得多。在实验二中，评委听到测试句子并估计说话者的年龄、身高和体重。另一组对照者则根据说话者的照片做出了同样的估计。虽然通过照片做出的估计比通过声音做出的估计更准确，但年龄和身高的差异在量级上是相当小的——年龄相差一岁多一点，身高相差不到半英寸。当判断汇集在一起时，由照片做出的估计并不总是优于由声音做出的估计。(C) 2002 Elsevier Science （USA）。版权所有。
Two experiments examined listeners' ability to make accurate inferences about speakers from the nonlinguistic content of their speech. In Experiment 1, naive listeners heard male and female speakers articulating two test sentences, and tried to select which of a pair of photographs depicted the speaker. On average they selected the correct photo 76.5% of the time. All performed at a level that was reliably better than chance. In Experiment II, judges heard the test sentences and estimated the speakers' age, height, and weight. A comparison group made the same estimates from photographs of the speakers. Although estimates made from photos are more accurate than those made from voice, for age and height the differences are quite small in magnitude-a little more than a year in age and less than a half inch in height. When judgments are pooled, estimates made from photos are not uniformly superior to those made from voices. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science (USA). All rights reserved.
