The Benefit of Bimodal Training in Voice Learning

It is known that talkers can be recognized by listening to their specific vocal qualities—breathiness and fundamental frequencies. However, talker identification also occur focusing on the talkers’ unique articulatory style, which available auditorily visually shared across modalities. Evidence shows voices heard while seeing faces are later better own compared alone. The present study investigated whether facilitation of voice learning through facial cues relies talker-specific or nonarticulatory information. Participants were initially trained learn ten presented either together with (a) an articulating face, (b) a static (c) isolated mouth. then tested recognizing regardless training modality. Consistent previous research, learned mouths did not provide advantage in voices. results demonstrated resulted
