Semantic information is more likely to be retrieved from recognized faces than from recognized voices. Earlier studies which investigated the recall of biographical information following person recognition used famous people’s voices and faces. The present study was designed with the aim of controlling more strictly the exposure frequency to both domains of stimuli (voices and faces). Participa...
متن کاملThe neural correlates of person familiarity. A functional magnetic resonance imaging study with clinical implications.
Neural activity was measured in 10 healthy volunteers by functional MRI while they viewed familiar and unfamiliar faces and listened to familiar and unfamiliar voices. The familiar faces and voices were those of people personally known to the subjects; they were not people who are more widely famous in the media. Changes in neural activity associated with stimulus modality irrespective of famil...
متن کاملSemantic Learning Modifies Perceptual Face Processing
Face processing changes when a face is learned with personally relevant information. In a five-day learning paradigm, faces were presented with rich semantic stories that conveyed personal information about the faces. Event-related potentials were recorded before and after learning during a passive viewing task. When faces were novel, we observed the expected N170 repetition effect-a reduction ...
متن کاملAge and the Neural Network of Personal Familiarity
BACKGROUND Accessing information that defines personally familiar context in real-world situations is essential for the social interactions and the independent functioning of an individual. Personal familiarity is associated with the availability of semantic and episodic information as well as the emotional meaningfulness surrounding a stimulus. These features are known to be associated with ne...
متن کاملConcordant Cues in Faces and Voices
Information from faces and voices combines to provide multimodal signals about a person. Faces and voices may offer redundant, overlapping (backup signals), or complementary information (multiple messages). This article reports two experiments which investigated the extent to which faces and voices deliver concordant information about dimensions of fitness and quality. In Experiment 1, particip...
