dc.description.abstract | Although faces and voices are important sources of information for person recognition, it is unclear
whether these cues interact at a late stage to act as complementary, unimodal sources for person
perception or whether they are integrated early on to provide a multisensory representation of a
person in memory. Here we used a crossmodal associative priming paradigm to test whether
unfamiliar voices which were recently paired with unfamiliar faces could subsequently prime
familiarity decisions to the related faces. Based on our previous study, we also predicted that
distinctive voices would enhance the recognition of faces relative to typical voices. In Experiment
1 we found that voice primes facilitated the recognition of related target faces at test relative to
learned but unrelated voice primes. Furthermore, face recognition was enhanced by the
distinctiveness of the paired voice primes. In contrast, we found no evidence of priming with
arbitrary sounds (Experiment 2), confirming the special status of the pairing between voices and
faces for person identification. In Experiment 3, we established that voice primes relative to no
prime facilitated familiarity decisions to related faces. Our results suggest a strong association
between newly learned voices and faces in memory. Furthermore, the distinctiveness effect
found for voice primes on face recognition suggests that the quality of the voice can affect
memory for faces. Our findings are discussed with regard to existing models of person
perception and argue for interactions between voices and faces that converge early in a
multisensory representation of persons in long-term memory. | en |
