My Aunt lost her sight over 60 years ago due to Glaucoma, and she calls em like she hears em.
I recall a psychological test conducted in the UK some years ago. It was referred to as "Find the Liar".
Several groups were exposed to videos of three people telling a story about themselves. One of them was lying. Which one was it?
Then, the groups were exposed to audio tapes of the same three people telling another story about themselves. Again, which one was lying?
Finally, the groups were exposed to one page stories written by the same three people. Again, one was lying. Who?
The results were rather remarkable. As I recall, the liar was correctly identified by around 15% of the audience in the video, by about 30% of the audience in print...and by over 75% in the audio version.
Good listeners can learn a lot.
