Effects of Interpersonal Distance on Children's Vocal Intensity.
Johnson, Cynthia J.; And Others
Child Development, v52 n2 p721-23 Jun 1981
Twelve people in each of three age groups--three-year-olds, five-year-olds, and college students--spoke to an adult listener who was positioned 6-, 12-, and 24-feet from the subject. Results indicate that children as young as three years old seem to know that it is necessary to increase vocal intensity as the listener becomes more distant. (Author/RH)
