| Abstract | A perceiver who learns to recognize a talker becomes familiar with attributes of the talker’s voice that are present in any utterance regardless of the linguistic message. Customary accounts of individual identification presume that such durable personal aspects of an individual’s speech are independent of the acoustic properties that evoke segmental phonetic contrasts. Alternatively, some classic and recent studies alike suggest that familiarity includes attention to attributes of dialect and diolect conveyed in the articulation of consonants and vowels. The present investigation sought direct evidence of attention to phonetic attributes of speech in identifying talkers. Natural samples and sinewave replicas of sentences were used in perceptual similarity tournament establishing the resolution of phonetic attributes in the perception of talkers. |
