摘要
The current study compared the language-familiarity effect on voice recognition by blind listeners and sighted individuals. Both groups performed better on the recognition of native voices than nonnative voices, but the language-familiarity effect is smaller in the blind than in the sighted group, with blind individuals performing better than their sighted counterparts only on the recognition of nonnative voices. Furthermore, recognition of native and nonnative voices was significantly correlated only in the blind group. These results indicate that language familiarity affects voice recognition by blind listeners, who differ to some extent from their sighted counterparts in the use of linguistic and nonlinguistic features during voice recognition.
