This is deduced from an experiment coordinated by scientists from the University of Aberdeen (Scotland) and McMaster University (Canada) in which a group of 45 women were asked to observe the images of different objects while listening to their name with different voices, male and female, bass and treble, modified with a computer program. By asking them to then recall what they had learned, the scientists found that the words spoken by deep, male voices had better etched their memory . As the authors conclude in an article published in the latest edition of the journal Memory & Cognition , the results are due to the fact that our memory "is programmed to better record what ensures reproductive success and survival ." In the case of women, this is related to a deep and masculine tone of voice.
In fact, another American study published in 2007 in the journal Biology Letters revealed that men with the deepest voices have more offspring . In the study, the researchers worked with the Hadza tribe of Tanzania and showed that women find men with deep voices more attractive, especially in the most fertile phase of their menstrual cycle. Hence, their reproductive success is greater.
