This study compares human speaker discrimination performance for read speech versus
casual conversations and explores differences between unfamiliar voices that are “easy” …

High variability training has been shown to benefit the learning of new face identities. In
three experiments, we investigated whether this is also the case for voice identity learning. In …

Historically, there has been less research carried out on earwitness than eyewitness
testimony. However, in some cases, earwitness evidence might play an important role in …

Forensics refers to scientific investigations of criminal activities. In the digital forensic
domain, phonetics is gaining attention from researchers. In the past, it was not as highlighted …

Identity verification from both faces and voices can be error‐prone. Previous research has
shown that faces and voices signal concordant information and cross‐modal unfamiliar face …

In Brazil, the recognition of speakers for forensic purposes still relies on a subjectivity-based
decision-making process through a results analysis of untrustworthy techniques. Owing to …

Vocal identity processing depends on the ability to tell apart two instances of different
speakers whilst also being able to tell together two instances of the same speaker. Whilst …

Unfamiliar simultaneous face matching is error prone. Reducing incorrect identification
decisions will positively benefit forensic and security contexts. The absence of view …

Familiar and unfamiliar voice perception are often understood as being distinct from each
other. For identity perception, theoretical work has proposed that listeners use acoustic …

In several applied contexts (eg, earwitness testimony), the accurate recognition of unfamiliar
voices can be a critical part of the person identification process. However, recognising …
