La reconnaissance des mots dans la parole accentuée : Une étude en laboratoire et à l’extérieur.

<p>Mispronunciations slow down word recognition: A study using touchscreens in the lab and the real world. Recent work suggests that children and adults are initially delayed when exposed to an accented talker, but quickly recover and develop talker-specific listening patterns. This research, however, is often carried out in the lab, where participants’ attention is focused on a single task and no distractions are present, and recovery is often deduced from looking patterns that require little overt response. In this experiment, we overcome these limitations and assess children’s and adults’ word recognition in accented speech, tested in both a laboratory and in a naturalistic setting. We found that mispronunciations in accented speech slow down overt decisions about word recognition, to a similar extent in the lab and in familiar environments, for both children and adults.</p>
