چکیده

One of the fields of research for which this validation is particularly important, is that which attempts to establish correlations between perceptual measures of voice on the one hand, and physiologic or acoustic parameters on the other. If reliability of a perceptual label or judgement is low, interpretation of a correlation with a perceptual parameter is complicated.
