Research in psychology and cognitive science has shown that humans can match voices to faces and vice versa, even without simultaneous exposure to both modalities. This ability suggests a cross-modal recognition capability where exposure to one sensory modality (hearing a voice) can influence recognition in another modality (recognizing a face from a silent video), and the reverse is also true.
