Abstract
The intent of the study was to find out whether raters possessing certain characteristics might be better at predicting speech in general, using the cloze procedure, and also whether some raters might be better at predicting certain types of speech (alcoholic vs. schizophrenic speech). 279 raters were characterized in terms of 15 variables, including 7 socioeconomic characteristics and 6 vebral performance measures. Each rater was asked to predict 2 alcoholic and 2 schizophrenic speech passages. The vebral score on the School and College Ability Test related significantly to the prediction of both alcoholic and schizophrenic speech. There was a negative correlation between the ver-bal association nonantomym popular score and the guessing of schizophrenic speech.
