本研究旨在确定在不利的听力条件下，与不熟悉的本地口音的理解相关的相对加工成本。两个句子验证实验中，听众听到的句子在不同的信号噪声比。在实验1中，这些句子被说在一个熟悉的或不熟悉的本地口音或在两个熟悉的本地口音。在实验2中，他们说一个熟悉的或不熟悉的本地口音或规范的口音。结果表明，母语口音之间的差异影响了不利的听力条件下的语言处理速度，这种处理速度调制的相对熟悉的听众与母语口音。此外，研究结果表明，与标准口音相关的处理成本大于不熟悉的本地口音。
This study aimed to determine the relative processing cost associated with comprehension of an unfamiliar native accent under adverse listening conditions. Two sentence verification experiments were conducted in which listeners heard sentences at various signal-to-noise ratios. In Experiment 1, these sentences were spoken in a familiar or an unfamiliar native accent or in two familiar native accents. In Experiment 2, they were spoken in a familiar or unfamiliar native accent or in a normative accent. The results indicated that the differences between the native accents influenced the speed of language processing under adverse listening conditions and that this processing speed was modulated by the relative familiarity of the listener with the native accent. Furthermore, the results showed that the processing cost associated with the normative accent was larger than for the unfamiliar native accent.
