The purpose of this series of experiments was to determine the effect of prior exposure to taped stimulus material on listeners' judgments of speakers' sex, height, and weight. Two series of listening experiments, one concerned with sex identification and one with height and weight identification, were conducted. Results indicate that prior exposure to stimulus material improved the accuracy of listeners' judgments of speakers' sex, height, and weight. However, they also indicate that it is not necessary to receive prior exposure to the complete set of stimuli to achieve accurate judgments. Prior exposure to the stimulus material improved listeners' confidence in their estimates of height and weight but not in their judgments of speakers' sex.
这一系列实验的目的是确定事先接触录音刺激材料对听众判断说话者的性别、身高和体重的影响。进行了两个系列的听力实验，一个涉及性别识别，另一个涉及身高和体重识别。结果表明，事先接触刺激材料提高了听众判断说话者性别、身高和体重的准确性。然而，结果也表明，要做出准确的判断，并不一定需要事先接触完整的刺激集。事先接触刺激材料提高了听众对其身高和体重估计的信心，但没有提高他们对说话者性别的判断信心。
