Abstract

This article focuses on the development and preliminary evaluation of the Zurich Voice Super-Recognizer Test (ZVSRT), a novel assessment tool designed to identify individuals with exceptional voice identity processing (VIP) abilities, termed Voice Super-Recognizers (VSRs). Drawing on prior research into face Super-Recognizers, the ZVSRT uses challenging perceptual tasks based on forensic voice samples and was tested on 204 Swiss law enforcement personnel to establish normative data. The findings indicate that the ZVSRT can sensitively measure a wide range of VIP abilities, with potential applications in forensic speaker comparison and law enforcement. The study highlights the need for further research to validate the test and explore the practical utility of VSRs in high-stakes legal contexts. [Extracted from the article]
