INTRODUCTION
A.
Statement of Problem
During a typical RV session, the subject produces a wealth of spoken
material, but only some of this material relates to the chosen target.
Unfortunately it is difficult to identify the target-related material
without a priori knowledge of which times the subject was engaged in
accurate RV. The question posed in this study was whether it is possible
to use audio analysis techniques to determine when a subject is accurately
describing the intended target.
B.
Possible Solution
Careful listening to tapes of sessions with a single subject suggests
that some target-related material was uttered in a different tone of voice
than other material (e.g., conversation with the monitor). For this subject,
accurate remote viewing appears associated with certain changes in speech
behavior, including speaking more softly, more slowly, longer pauses, and
with a dream-like quality.
In general, if a subject were to exhibit a particular set of speech
changes whenever target-related material was being produced, the analyst
could use these speech changes to separate the related from the unrelated
material without knowledge of the target. We explored the relationship
between changes in speech behavior and the accuracy of target descriptions
in this study.

Historical Perspective of Audio Analysis Techniques
Earlier research has shown that changes in speech behavior can reflect
subtle physiological changes such as those resulting from stress or disease.
Two studies representing this research will be described to provide a
context for the present study of speech changes observed during RV sessions.
These studies illustrate different approaches to speech analysis.
The first study was designed to examine how speech behavior may be
influenced by task-induced stress .-
An arithmetic task requiring a verbal
response was repeatedly administered to each of ten male subjects. The
difficulty of the task was varied from trial to trial:
on some occasions
the subject was obviously stressed, and on other occasions he was relatively
relaxed. Contrasting responses containing the same test phrase were com-
pared by means of critical listening and instrumental analysis.
Listeners were able to discriminate between the responses representing
the stress and control conditions for many subjects. Level measurements
showed that three subjects spoke more softly and one subject spoke more
loudly under stress. Measurements of fundamental frequency provided
similar results: some subjects raised their vocal pitch, others lowered
their vocal pitch, and still others exhibited unique pitch contours when
the task became stressful.
An extensive comparison of spectrograms
demonstrated many other stress-related changes in the speech signal.
Temporal and spectral irregularities were observed in the acoustic pulses
that are generated in the larynx during speech production. Stress also
affected the precision with which particular speech sounds were articulated.
The second study was concerned with speech changes that are related
to cerebrovascular disorders."," The purpose of the study was to develop
a subjective method of speech analysis that could be used to identify
persons who have suffered a minor stroke.
Because stroke affects speech

production in a complex manner, all speech samples that were analyzed were
first converted into spectrograms. Experiments were conducted to determine
whether certain speech attributes observed in the spectrograms could be
used to discriminate between a population of diagnosed stroke patients
and an age-matched population of normal speakers. Linear discriminant
scores based on ratings of only six speech attributes correctly classified
89 percent of the stroke patients and 87 percent of the normal speakers.

METHOD OF APPROACH
A.
Selection of Data Base
To determine a useful set of audiolinguistic (A/L) criteria, it was
important in this pilot investigation to work with a RV data base that
met two conditions :
(1) The data base had been independently analyzed
by "blind" judging procedures.
(2) The RV targets had to be well-defined.
The first requirement defined the minimum assessment standard; namely,
STD 'S
any A/L technique had to perform at least as well as blind judging procedures.
The second requirement allowed for an unambiguous element-by-element
comparison between target information and RV-generated data. To meet
these requirements, an existing data base from earlier SRI experiments
was used.
In an early attempt to assess the nature of "abstract" targeting,
Subject 504 was the only participant in the "Coordinate Box Experiment."
The target material was a collection of 16 small dissimilar objects,
placed one each in a 4 x 4 matrix array. Each cell of this matrix was a
cube measuring approximately one foot on a side. Subject 504 was targeted
with only a row and column address and asked to describe the object at
that location. The experiment consisted of six trials. A complete
description of this experiment can be found elsewhere.
4
The overall result derived from blind judging analysis was significant.
Two important features of this experiment were (1) the targets were
well defined (Figure 1) and (2) the target-transcript correspondences

ranged from excellent to rather poor. These two features allowed for a
sensitive test of the A/L procedure described below.
B.
Audiolinguistic Protocol
Three out of the six trials from the Coordinate Box Experiment were
chosen for study. They represented the best correspondence (doll target),
an intermediate level of correspondence (book target), and a poor corre-
spondence (plant target). A verbatim transcript was produced from each
trial (a sample transcript, the one for the best-correspondence case, is
shown in Appendix A). First, the utterances were sequentially numbered
for ease of reference. Then, on a blind basis, each utterance was
labeled as belonging to one of four categories, defined on the basis
of A/L characteristics as listed below.
CATEGOR-
IES
The first category, Present Time (PT), is defined as that characterized
-
by a slow, dream-like utterance that is usually preceded by a pause.
Sentences tend to be in the present tense, and are typified by "I feel
.
"I see ... ," or "There is
The second category, debriefing (DB) is defined to be that charac-
terized by initial excitement and a higher vocal effort. There is
frequently an announcement of debriefing such as, "I just got a flash
Debriefing may be characterized by present or past tense statements,
like "I feel
saw
" or "There is (was)
...
=
Although this
is similar to PT, the voice quality is considerably different.
The third category, analysis (AN), is defined to be characterized by
statements that contain analogies and associations with respect to an
object, e.g., "It looks like
.
or "It reminds me of ..
Utterances
that contain generalizations with respect to an object (e.g., "It must be
some kind of a ... ") are also considered to be analysis.

Finally, the fourth category, conversation (CO), consists of
questions asked of the experimenter, answers in response to non-task
related questions by the experimenter, and general statements directed
to the experimenter. The voice quality in this category is matter-of-
fact and colloquial.

C.
Scoring the Utterances
The utterances were scored in two separate ways :
(1) by a target-
dependent scoring procedure and (2) by a target-independent method.
Both
techniques share a common preprocessing, which is described below.
SCORING
1.
Preprocessing the Utterances
The conversation category was first eliminated for all the
analysis done in this study. For each of the three remaining A/L categories,
PT, DB, and AN, each utterance was reduced to one or more concepts. A
concept is technically defined as a short phrase that best represents the
idea incorporated in the utterance. The concepts are then edited to remove
any redundance with the category. A zero in the duplication column in
Appendix B indicates that a particular concept was ignored because it was
redundant. The resulting lists of concepts were then analyzed by a target-
dependent procedure and by a target-independent method. The following
analyses were conducted for each of the three responses chosen for this
study.
2.
Target-Independent Analysis
In the target-independent analysis, a simple count of the
number of nonredundant concepts in each category is computed.
It was
hypothesized that the percent of PT statements would correlate with the
blind judging results and thus could serve as a predictor of RV quality.

where No. (PT) and No. (DB) are the number of PT and DB concepts, respectively.
It must be noted the %PT can be calculated without any knowledge of the

3.
Target-Dependent Analysis
Following an idea first proposed by Targ et al., a detailed
target-dependent analysis was devised. With a response conceptualized in
accordance with the above guidelines, the target-dependent analysis
proceeds in three steps :
TYPE
ANALY.
(1)
Binary determination -- Each concept is assigned a one if
some element in the target appears to correspond to the
concept in question. The concept is assigned a zero
otherwise. There is no implied evaluation at this point,
but if there is a correspondence, the identified element
must be explicitly noted.

(2)
Quality evaluation -- A quality evaluation is made for
each concept that has been assigned a one from Step (1)
above. The evaluation is made on a one-to-five-point
scale shown in Table 1.

Centrality evaluation -- Each concept that has been assigned

the centrality of the corresponding target element.
Centrality is expressed as a number between one and five
(Table 2). This numeric assignment is made according
to the element's importance to the target as a whole
and is based on target information only.

The scores from these three steps are then multiplied together to form a
composite score (maximum of 25) for each concept in each response.

responses, i.e., for which the target was a small rag doll (Figure 1).

IV STATISTICAL RESULTS
Table 3 shows the results of A/L analysis as it was applied to three
of the six targets for the coordinate box experiment. The plant, the book,
and the doll were chosen for this initial study because the quality of
their corresponding transcripts, as described earlier, was poor, inter-
mediate and excellent, respectively. The results of the blind judging
for the actual experiment are shown in the last column in Table 3. The
Greek letter mu (p) in Table 3 is calculated from the overall concept
scores for each category from
TOTAL no. OF concepts

where N is the total number of concepts for the specific category. The
p, then, represents the average score out of a maximum possible 25 for
each cateogry. The %PT was calculated from Eq. (1), and F is the F ratio
derived from a one-way analysis of variance. For each target, a one-way
analysis of variance was computed under the null hypothesis assumption
that the scores for A/L category do not differ from one another.
The %PT and the F-ratio represent the results for the target-independent
and target-dependent A/L analysis respectively: a correlation with blind
judging exists for both analyses.

CONCLUSIONS
This pilot investigation was conducted on the basis of a detailed
analysis of three trials from a single subject. Therefore, it is premature
to conclude with certainty to what degree the particular A/L analysis
technique used with this subject can be generalized. It is possible,
however, to conclude that the A/L technique is basically productive in
its approach. In particular the observed correlation of the target-
independent analysis with previous blind judging results is highly
encouraging.
WHAT
Spots THIS
STATEMENT
As the A/L analysis technique evolves further, a single set of A/L
criteria is not expected to be applicable across subjects; rather, for
the operational setting, in all likelihood a subject-specific set of
criteria must be developed.
In summary, it should be emphasized that, (1) at a minimum, some
improvement in the RV product can be immediately realized by rejecting all
analytical (AN) statements; (2) beyond that, a full audio-linguistic
(A/L) analysis of utterances appears to further differentiate correct
from incorrect statements generated in RV sessions.
