Perceived age: a distracter for voice disguise and speaker identification?

Listeners assign an age to a speaker based on their voice alone. The accuracy of estimates of speakers ’ ages may not be a great as has been suggested. This experiment suggests that listen-ers may be better able to rank-order voices by perceived age, than providing perceived ages, per se. However, whether perceived age can act as a distracter for voice disguise and lead to correct speaker identification remains an open question
