Abstract
This article deals with auditory speaker recognition, the human ability to recognize a speaker's identity from hearing a sample of his speech. More specifically, it concentrates on our ability to do this in everyday situations, not in the experimental laboratory. As is explained more fully by Brown (1980a), there are significant differences between the speaker recognition tasks which experimenters have set listeners to perform and the corresponding processes which we perform in our daily lives. In addition, therefore, the article does not handle two experimental fields which are often considered together with auditory speaker recognition—speaker recognition by the visual examination of spectrograms (‘voice-prints’), and automatic speaker recognition by machine.
