Abstract

Two factors relevant to voice recognition were investigated in the study reported here: the effect on memory for a voice of the presence of a face or personal information about the speaker, and the effects of the re-presentation of this information as contextual cues at test. Recognition memory for the briefly heard voice of a stranger was superior in conditions where the face of the speaker was absent. Presence of the additional contextual cues at test had no effects on recognition performance. Theoretical and forensic applications of the findings are discussed in terms of face-recognition models and witness line-up design. The sensitivity of voice memory measures to the different types of experimental design is also considered. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
