Description

Shengyue Xiong and four co-authors study how listeners learn to tell talkers apart in a 2025 paper. Knowing a voice means sorting wild sound swings into one steady person. A two-system model of learning says rule-based thought starts the job, then habit-like links take over late.

Mandarin-speaking listeners trained to name talkers in their home tongue and in English, plain or with a familiar accent. Notes after each try were rich or bare, nudging one system or the other. Familiar speech sped and sharpened the naming. A drift model read the hidden choice steps behind each answer.
