We use a recently proposed method [Berthier L.; Biroli G.; Bouchaud J.P.; Cipelletti L.; El Masri D.; L'Hote D.; Ladieu F.; Pierno M. Science 2005, 310, 1797.] to obtain an approximation to the 4-point dynamic correlation function from derivatives of the linear dielectric response function. For four liquids over a range of pressures, we find that the number of dynamically correlated molecules, Nc, depends only on the magnitude of the relaxation time, independently of temperature and pressure. This result is consistent with the invariance of the shape of the relaxation dispersion at constant relaxation time and the density scaling property of the relaxation times, and implies that Nc also conforms to the same scaling behavior. For propylene carbonate and salol Nc becomes constant with approach to the Arrhenius regime, consistent with the value of unity expected for intermolecularly non-cooperative relaxation.
