Reisberg, McLean, and Goldfield (1987) have shown that vision plays a part in the perception of speech even when the auditory signal is clearly audible and intact. Using an alternative method the present study replicated their finding. Clearly audible spoken messages were presented in audio-only and audio-visual conditions, and the adult participants' resulting comprehension was measured. Stories were presented in French (Expt 1), in a Glaswegian accent (Expt 2), and by presenting spoken information that was semantically and syntactically complex (Experiment 3). Three separate groups of 16 adult female participants aged 19-21 participated in the three experiments. In all three experiments, comprehension improved significantly when the speaker's face was visible.
雷斯伯格、麦克林和戈德菲尔德（1987年）已经表明，即便听觉信号清晰可闻且完整无缺，视觉在言语感知中仍发挥着作用。本研究采用另一种方法重复验证了他们的研究结果。在仅音频和视听两种条件下呈现清晰可闻的口语信息，并测量成年参与者的理解结果。故事分别用法语呈现（实验1）、用格拉斯哥口音呈现（实验2）以及通过呈现语义和句法复杂的口语信息来呈现（实验3）。三组各有16名年龄在19至21岁之间的成年女性参与者参与了这三项实验。在所有三项实验中，当说话者的面部可见时，理解能力均有显著提高。
