Results summarize the association between acoustic variables and scaled sentence intelligibility within speakers. The sign of the correlation indicates the direction of the association. Bold text indicates correlations of 0.30 or greater and an asterisk indicates significant correlations (ρ<0.05). Speakers are listed from least intelligible (PMD07) to most intelligible (PDF08).
