{ "pk": 25462, "title": "Children's early perceptual and late-emerging social sensitivity to accented speech", "subtitle": null, "abstract": "<p>How early in life, and in what situations, are children sensitive to speakers' accents? Some researchers have suggested that accent is an early-developing, perhaps intrinsic, signal of group membership. However, other studies find little sensitivity to or awareness of accent in young children. Three experiments reported here examine 3-5-yearolds' comprehension of, and social decision-making with, a familiar (US English) accent and a foreign (Dutch) accent. Dutch accents were comprehended less well, particularly when salient phonological competitors were present, but social sensitivity was fairly weak until age 6-7 years. The latter finding contrasts with accounts positing early (perhaps innate) social sensitivity to accents.</p>", "language": "eng", "license": { "name": "", "short_name": "", "text": null, "url": "" }, "keywords": [ { "word": "language development" }, { "word": "accent" }, { "word": "socialstereotyping" }, { "word": "word recognition" }, { "word": "eye tracking" } ], "section": "Papers", "is_remote": true, "remote_url": "https://escholarship.org/uc/item/19v7z5v8", "frozenauthors": [ { "first_name": "Sarah", "middle_name": "C", "last_name": "Creel", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Cognitive Science, UC San Diego", "department": "" }, { "first_name": "Emilie", "middle_name": "", "last_name": "Seubert", "name_suffix": "", "institution": "Department of Cognitive Science, UC San Diego", "department": "" } ], "date_submitted": null, "date_accepted": null, "date_published": "2015-01-01T18:00:00Z", "render_galley": null, "galleys": [ { "label": "PDF", "type": "pdf", "path": "https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/25462/galley/15086/download/" } ] }
