提出语言与说话人认知整合模型，解释声音如何影响理解。

The identity of a speaker influences language comprehension through modulating perception and expectation. This review explores speaker effects and proposes an integrative model of language and speaker processing that integrates distinct mechanistic perspectives. We argue that speaker effects arise from the interplay between bottom-up perception-based processes, driven by acoustic-episodic memory, and top-down expectation-based processes, driven by a speaker model. We show that language and speaker processing are functionally integrated through multi-level probabilistic processing: prior beliefs about a speaker modulate language processing at the phonetic, lexical, and semantic levels, while the unfolding speech and message continuously update the speaker model, refining broad demographic priors into precise individualized representations. Within this framework, we distinguish between speaker-idiosyncrasy effects arising from familiarity with an individual and speaker-demographics effects arising from social group expectations. We discuss how speaker effects serve as indices for assessing language development and social cognition, and we encourage future research to extend these findings to the emerging domain of artificial intelligence (AI) speakers, as AI agents represent a new class of social interlocutors that are transforming the way we engage in communication.
