Humans have a remarkable skill for voice-identity recognition: most of us can remember
many voices that surround us as 'unique'. In this review, we explore the computational and …

Thirty years on from their initial observation that familiar voice recognition is not the same as
unfamiliar voice discrimination (van Lancker and Kreiman, 1987), the current paper reviews …

We investigated neural mechanisms that support voice recognition in a training paradigm
with fMRI. The same listeners were trained on different weeks to categorize the mid-regions …

In this study, we replicated and extended Experiment 1 of Palmeri et al.(1993) in two
experiments. Using the continuous recognition memory paradigm, we investigated effects of …

speaking? Samuel R. Mathias1,2, Katharina vo Page 1 [Frontiers in Bioscience S6, 92-109 …

Social interactions make up to a large extent the prime material of episodic memories. We
therefore asked how social signals are coded by neurons in the hippocampus. Human …

Listeners can recognize newly learned voices from previously unheard utterances,
suggesting the acquisition of high-level speech-invariant voice representations during …

We investigated gender differences in the identification of personally familiar voices in a
gender-balanced sample of 40 listeners. From various types of utterances, listeners had to …

Abstract Models of voice perception propose that identities are encoded relative to an
abstracted average or prototype. While there is some evidence for norm-based coding when …

Unfamiliar voice identification is error-prone. Whilst the investigation of system variables
may indicate ways of boosting earwitness performance, this is an under-researched area …
