The advances in audio language models (ALMs) open promising opportunities in automating coding process, capturing critical multimodal signals of behavioral patterns, and interactive collaborations with expert annotators.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We experimented with 5 recorded sessions from de-identified MI audio tapes. We deployed audio-language models with four complementary analytic prompts to augment utterance-level reasoning: analytic (verbal cues), prosody-aware (acoustic cues), evidence-scoring (quantitative hypothesis test), and comparative (contrastive reasoning). Three stochastic samples were drawn per prompt, generating 12 independent reasoning trajectories per utterance, and majority votes of all trajectories decided predictions.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Performance was evaluated using accuracy, precision, recall, and macro-F1 scores. The proposed MM-SC approach achieved 52.56% accuracy, 54.03% precision, 47.45% recall, and a macro-F1 score of 46.40%, exceeding the performance of baseline methods. Systematic ablation removing individual modules consistently degraded performance on primary metrics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Multimodal self-consistency outperforms single-pass baseline prompting approaches.
