Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 200010810-A 611;Gftfp;~788RO01300310001-4 - #W-" II 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. 2 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 4000 C. 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. I 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. 2,3 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 3 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 !_~-IPMMCM788RO01 300310001-4 mops 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. 4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 88R001300310001-4 III 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, any A/L technique had to perform at least as well as blind judging procedu3es. 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 5 TC:fF TED4.

I ' 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 CRVECOQ_ I E-S labeled as belonging to one of four categories, defined on the basis of A/L characteristics as listed below. 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 "Mere 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 'II feel "I saw ... " or "There is (was) Although this is similar to PT, the voice quality is considerably different. The third category, analysis (ANY, 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. 7 ING IEAI~M~ kW414F-Y \JOC8'L JWA"Y Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : 1011PQIQ~aQWM001300310001-4 ftf COW EWSA - Finally, the fourth category, conversation (CO), consists of -not-,) 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- -C3DVMCA dependent scoring procedure and (2) by a target-independent method. Both techniques share a common preprocessing, which is described below. 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 TVAPS - concept is technically defined as a short phrase that best represents the FOP_ 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. 8 INPE P'WAclsls W1 H\(POTHE_ Sts Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved ForAW6ase 2000/08/07 88ROO130031OW1 From these summations, the percent PT is calculated from %PT = No.(PT) / [No.(PT) + No.(DB)] where No.(PT) and No.(DB) are the number of PT and DB concepts, respectively. It must be noted the 7oPT can be calculated without any knowledge of the target. 3. Target-Dependent Analysis wow UJORT me-Al. KAMN)ST Following an idea first proposed by Targ et al., E5 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: ELZMC~_Ts (1) Binary determination--Each concept is assigned a one if PRek-E-OT 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) rov- eLe above. The evaluation is made on a one-to-five-point scale shown in Table 1. (3) Centrality evaluation--Each concept that has been assigned A-55.L a one from Step (1) above is also evaluated with respect to For- L--LE PR eSol r 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. Appendix B is a complete example of this procedure for one of the three responses, i.e., for which the target was a small rag doll (Figure 1). 9 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 ,Pj0A_ 0788R001300310001-4 -ftP 16 Table 1 QUALITY RATING FOR A CONCEPT THAT HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AT THE SITE (Specific Target Sub-element) (1) Little correspondence, but possible (2) Some correct elements (3) Mixture of correct and incorrect, but more of the former (4) Good correspondence, with unambiguous matchable elem9nts (5) Excellent correspondence, perhaps with correct analysis of the sub-element.

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 (1i) in Table 3 is calculated from the overall concept 10 scores for each category from p = Z concept scores/N where N is the total number of concepts for the specific category. The I , t 11, then, represents the average score out of A] =naximum possible 25 for-mr- each cateogry. The 7oPT 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.

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- -'o 5 TA independent analysis with previous blind judging results is highly SM(VM011 encouraging. 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 J'~'-r-RMG improvement in the RV product can be immediately realized by rejecting all analytical (AN) statements; (2) beyond that, a full audio-linguistic IS, (A/L) analysis of utterances appears to further differentiate correct from incorrect statements generated in RV sessions. 13 n VE V Approved For Release 2000/08/07 : CIA-RDP96-00788ROO1300310001-4 Approved For Release 2000/08/07 Q-%&-cm8QQmQQQR ROO 1300310001-4 fto 16 %0 1% 16 1 REFERENCES 1.
