| Abstract | The aim of the present study was to investigate the influence of listener’s age and types of stimulus in speech samples on age estimation. Sixty listeners (30 elderly and 30 younger) gave their direct age estimation for 32 talkers based on four types of stimulus: sustained vowel prolongation, sentence, passage and monologue. The results showed that listeners tended to under-estimate age of elderly talkers but over-estimate age of younger talkers. The results also showed that younger listeners were able to make more accurate age estimation than elderly listeners. Types of stimulus could influence the accuracy of age estimation from voice. Connected speech stimuli were more effective than sustained vowel prolongation in providing listeners with cues for age estimation.
