Individual differences in face identification ability range from prosopagnosia to super‐recognition. The current study examined whether face identification ability predicts voice identification ability (participants: N = 529). Superior‐face‐identifiers (exceptional at face memory and matching), superior‐face‐recognisers (exceptional at face memory only), superior‐face‐matchers (exceptional face matchers only), and controls completed the Bangor Voice Matching Test, Glasgow Voice Memory Test, and a Famous Voice Recognition Test. Meeting predictions, those possessing exceptional face memory and matching skills outperformed typical‐range face groups at voice memory and voice matching respectively. Proportionally more super‐face‐identifiers also achieved our super‐voice‐recogniser criteria on two or more tests. Underlying cross‐modality (voices vs. faces) and cross‐task (memory vs. perception) mechanisms may therefore drive superior performances. Dissociations between Glasgow Voice Memory Test voice and bell recognition also suggest voice‐specific effects to match those found with faces. These findings have applied implications for policing, particularly in cases when only suspect voice clips are available.

超级面部识别器还是超级语音识别器吗？跨模式识别任务的证据

面部识别能力的个体差异范围从前瞻性到超级识别。当前的研究检查了面部识别能力是否可以预测语音识别能力（参与者：N= 529）。上级面部识别器（面部记忆和匹配除外），上级面部识别器（仅面部记忆例外），上级面部匹配器（仅限面部表情匹配器）和控件完成了Bangor语音匹配测试，格拉斯哥语音记忆测试和著名的语音识别测试。满足预测要求的是，拥有出色的面部记忆和匹配技能的人在语音记忆和语音匹配方面分别胜过典型范围的面部人群。在两个或多个测试中，成比例地更多的超级面部识别器也达到了我们的超级语音识别器标准。因此，潜在的交叉模式（声音与面孔）和交叉任务（记忆与感知）机制可能会带来出色的性能。格拉斯哥语音记忆测试的声音和铃声识别之间的分离也表明了特定于语音的效果，可以与面部表情相匹配。这些发现为警务工作带来了意义，特别是在只有可疑语音片段可用的情况下。
