在说话人性别识别任务中，确定了说话人喉基频和声道共振特征的相对重要性。20名说话者（10名男性和10名女性）以正常和低声的方式记录了6个持续的孤立元音。共有3主磁带（发声，低语和过滤）从这些录音构建。过滤后的磁带对浊音磁带进行了255赫兹的低通滤波。这些磁带被播放给15名听众，让他们判断说话者的性别，并对他们的评价进行信心评级。他们的判断结果表明，在每卷磁带的1800个身份识别中（20个说话人）。6个元音。15名听者)，对浊音磁带的正确率为96%，对过滤磁带的正确率为91%，对低语磁带的正确率为75%。听录音的人对自己的判断最自信，其次是过滤后的录音，而听耳语录音的人对自己的判断最不自信。在说话者性别识别任务中，喉部基频似乎比说话者的共振特征更重要。
The relative importance of the speaker''s laryngeal fundamental frequency and vocal tract resonance characteristics was determined in speaker sex identification tasks. Six sustained isolated vowels were recorded by 20 speakers, 10 males and 10 females, in a normal and whispered manner. A total of 3 master tapes (voiced, whispered and filtered) were constructed from these recordings. The filtered tape involved 255-Hz low-pass filtering of the voiced tape. The tapes were played to 15 listeners for speaker sex identification judgments and confidence ratings of their evaluations. Results of their judgments indicated that, of the 1800 identifications made for each tape (20 speakers .times. 6 vowels .times. 15 listeners), 96% were correct for the voiced tape, 91% were correct for the filtered tape, and 75% were correct for the whispered tape. The listeners were most confident in their judgments on the voiced tape followed by the filtered tape and showed the least amount of confidence on the whispered tape. The laryngeal fundamental frequency appeared to be a more important acoustic cue in speaker sex identification tasks than the resonance characteristics of the speaker.
