When Two Become One: Temporally Dynamic Integration of the Face and Voice
نویسندگان
چکیده
In everyday interactions, people have to deal with the sight of a face and sound of a voice at the same time. How the perceptual system brings this information together remains unclear. In 2 studies, we investigated how facial and vocal cues are integrated during social categorization by recording participants’ hand movements (via the x, y coordinates of the computer mouse) en route to ”male” and ”female” responses on the screen. Participants were presented with male and female faces that were accompanied by a same-sex voice morphed to be either sextypical or sex-atypical. Before settling into ultimate sex categorizations of the face, the simultaneous processing of a sex-atypical voice led the hand to be continuously attracted to the opposite sex-category response. This is evidence that ongoing results from voice perception continuously influence face perception across processing. Thus, social categorization involves dynamic updates of gradual integration of the face and voice.

متن کاملBenefits for Voice Learning Caused by Concurrent Faces Develop over Time.
Recognition of personally familiar voices benefits from the concurrent presentation of the corresponding speakers' faces. This effect of audiovisual integration is most pronounced for voices combined with dynamic articulating faces. However, it is unclear if learning unfamiliar voices also benefits from audiovisual face-voice integration or, alternatively, is hampered by attentional capture of ...
متن کاملMatching novel face and voice identity using static and dynamic facial images
Research investigating whether faces and voices share common source identity information has offered contradictory results. Accurate face-voice matching is consistently above chance when the facial stimuli are dynamic, but not when the facial stimuli are static. We tested whether procedural differences might help to account for the previous inconsistencies. In Experiment 1, participants complet...
متن کاملIntegration of dynamic pricing and overselling with opportunistic cancellation
Abstract We extend the concept of dynamic pricing by integrating it with “overselling with opportunistic cancellation” option, within the framework of dynamic policy. Under this strategy, to sell a stock of perishable product (or capacity) two prices are offered to customers at any given time period. Customers are categorized as high-paying and low-paying ones. The seller deliberately oversel...
متن کاملTitle: Cerebral Correlates and Statistical Criteria of Cross-modal Face and Voice Integration Short title: Face-voice Integration
Perception of faces and voices plays a prominent role in human social interaction, making multisensory integration of cross-modal speech a topic of great interest in cognitive neuroscience. How to define potential sites of multisensory integration using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is currently under debate, with three statistical criteria frequently used (e.g. super-additive, m...
