===The Face Advantage=== The Face Advantage allows information and memories to be recalled easier through the presentation of a person's face rather than a person's voice.<ref name=seed>{{cite journal|last=BrΓ©dart|first=S.|author2=Barsics, C. |title=Recalling Semantic and Episodic Memory from Faces and Voices: A Face Advantage|journal=Current Directions in Psychological Science|year=2012|volume=21|issue=6|pages=378β381|doi=10.1177/0963721412454876|hdl=2268/135794 |s2cid=145337404|hdl-access=free}}</ref> Faces and voices are very similar stimuli that reveal similar information and result in similar processes of memory recall.<ref name="Speaker recognition">{{cite encyclopedia|last=Nadel|first=Lynn|title=Speaker Recognition|encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of Cognitive Science|year=2005|volume=4|pages=142β145}}</ref> During [[face perception]], there are three stages of memory recall that include recognition, followed by the remembering of [[semantic memory]] and [[episodic memory]], and finally name recall.<ref name="facial recognition">{{Cite encyclopedia|last=Mansour|first=J.K.|author2=Lindsay, R.

The participants are asked to say if the face or voice is familiar. If the answer is yes, they are asked to recall semantic and episodic memories and finally the name of the face or voice.<ref name=seed /> It was much easier for those presented with a celebrity's face to recall information than for those presented with a voice. The results show that in the second stage of face perception when memories are recalled,<ref name=brucey /> information is recalled faster and more accurate after a face is perceived, and slower, less accurate and with less detail after a voice is perceived. A possible explanation is that the connections between face representations and semantic and episodic memory are stronger than that of voices.<ref name=seed /><ref name="facial recognition" />
