Impaired generalization of speaker identity in the perception of familiar and unfamiliar voices.
(2016-12)
In 2 behavioral experiments, we explored how the extraction of identity-related information from familiar and unfamiliar voices is affected by naturally occurring vocal flexibility and variability, introduced by different ...
Breaking voice identity perception: Expressive voices are more confusable for listeners.
(2019-09)
The human voice is a highly flexible instrument for self-expression, yet voice identity perception is largely studied using controlled speech recordings. Using two voice-sorting tasks with naturally varying stimuli, we ...
The effects of high variability training on voice identity learning.
(Elsevier, 2019-07)
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 Experiment 1a, we contrasted high ...
Oxytocin increases bias, but not accuracy, in face recognition line-ups.
(2015-07)
Previous work indicates that intranasal inhalation of oxytocin improves face recognition skills, raising the possibility that it may be used in security settings. However, it is unclear whether oxytocin directly acts upon ...
Eye-movement strategies in developmental prosopagnosia and "super" face recognition.
(2017-02)
Developmental prosopagnosia (DP) is a cognitive condition characterized by a severe deficit in face recognition. Few investigations have examined whether impairments at the early stages of processing may underpin the ...
The movement advantage in famous and unfamiliar faces: a comparison of point-light displays and shape-normalised avatar stimuli.
(2013)
Facial movement may provide cues to identity, by supporting the extraction of face shape information via structure-from-motion, or via characteristic patterns of movement. Currently, it is unclear whether familiar and ...
An in-depth cognitive examination of individuals with superior face recognition skills.
(2016-09)
Previous work has reported the existence of "super-recognisers" (SRs), or individuals with extraordinary face recognition skills. However, the precise underpinnings of this ability have not yet been investigated. In this ...
Prevalence of face recognition deficits in middle childhood.
(2017-02)
Approximately 2-2.5% of the adult population is believed to show severe difficulties with face recognition, in the absence of any neurological injury-a condition known as developmental prosopagnosia (DP). However, to date ...
Forgetting emotional material in working memory
(Oxford University Press, 2017-12-20)
Proactive interference (PI) is the tendency for information learned earlier to interfere with more recently learned information. In the present study, we induced PI by presenting items from the same category over several ...
