The self-prioritization effect (SPE) reflects the ability to efficiently discern self-relevant information. self-voice emerges as a crucial identity marker because of its inherent self-relevance, and previous work has demonstrated perceptual cognitive advantages over other voices. Yet, extent which humans prioritize their when they hear it is both self-similar ("That sounds like my voice") self-generated ("I said that") remains understudied. Here, we examined impacts self-similarity...

Information associated with the self is prioritized relative to information others and therefore processed more quickly accurately. Across three experiments, we examined whether a new externally‐generated voice could become thus be in perception. In first experiment, participants learned associations between unfamiliar voices identities (self, friend, stranger). Participants then made speeded judgements of voice‐identity pairs were correctly matched, or not. A clear self‐prioritization...

The enfacement illusion is a facial version of the rubber hand illusion, in which participants experience tactile stimulation their own faces synchronously with observation same applied to another’s face. In previous studies, have reported experiencing an illusory embodiment other’s face following synchronous compared asynchronous stimulation. series three experiments, we addressed questions: (i) how does similarity between self and other, operationalized here as being or different gender...

<title>Abstract</title> Societies are becoming more polarised, driven in part by misconceptions about out-groups’ beliefs. To understand these effects, one must examine the cognitive processes underlying how people think others. Here, we investigate whether less prone to theorise minds of out-groups, or able do so. Participants (Study 1: n=128; Study 2: n=128) made inferences social and political beliefs held real in-group out-group members, could choose receive further information improve...

Voices are fundamentally social stimuli, and their importance to the self may be underpinned by extent which they can used express achieve communicative goals. This paper examines how self-bias agency over a self-owned voice is altered when that represent in interaction.To enable participants use new self-voice, novel two-player game was created, communicated online using text-to-speech (TTS) synthesised voice. We then measured sense of atrributed this voice, comparing who had interact with...
