The percentage of vocal fold contact in a given vibratory cycle, used to estimate laryngeal register and closed quotient (i.e. the percentage of time in one vibratory cycle that the glottis is closed). While electroglottography (EGG) displays contact quotient reliably, inferring closed quotient from this may be less reliable.[1]
