The role of voice similarity in accommodation
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Studies of accommodation show that some talkers are perceived as accommodating more than others. One possibility is that the similarity of the shadower's voice to a model talker's can account, in part, for the amount of perceived accommodation. To determine this, we conducted an auditory naming task having eight model talker voices previously rated for attractiveness and prototypicality, such that the Most Attractive and Least Attractive and Most Typical and Least Typical voices for each gender were used as models. Twenty participants completed an auditory naming task with these eight voices. A separate group of 20 listeners rated the similarity of model tokens and shadower’s baseline productions using a visual analog scale. The results of this task were compared to the perceived accommodation results from a separate AXB rating task. Overall, female voices that were more different from the models showed more accommodation. This effect was not found for males, who generally showed less accommodation overall. These findings suggest that talkers either accommodate more when their voice is more distinct from the model talker's voice, or perhaps more likely, that such changes are more perceptible to listeners. Further explorations of the data are underway to tease apart these possibilities.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
