Voice Identification
This line of research
grew from a student project and demonstrated a bias for increased pitch
in the identification of unfamiliar voices. In addition, I have examined
the effects of infant vocalizations on adults. Continuing work is beginning
to show differential cognitive and physiological effects that are dependent
upon the sex and parental status of the adult listener.
