Behavioral Talker Identification Under Varying Speech Spatialization and Transmission Quality (Study III)

This chapter reports a third study on behavioral talker identification in a relatively more complex listening-only test scenario involving “turn-taking”Turn-taking scenario between two talkers. It is argued that listening subjects base their response strategy for talker identification on different internal processes of sound source localization and voice recognition, depending on the availability of different talker location cues during nonspatial (vocal cues) and spatial speech presentation modes (vocal and spatial cues).
