Funnily enough,
I just read a study which concluded that people accurately recognize emotional states in others far better by just listening to their voices as opposed to looking at them plus listening at the same time.

25th Anniversary of SMS Text Messaging
Amazing how this little feature shaped communication. Forums too influenced by truncated communication. Average post about 8 words. Pictures replaces content. Are we smarter? Or just chatty?

neurolinguistics
I've studied and practiced neurolinguistic interviewing which definitely requires you look at the person and pay attention to their physical cues as well as the structure of their spoken words. Can you share the study?
