We examined the effect of a “mismatch” between a listener’s phonological representations and speech input on spoken word recognition. Native Spanish (NS) and native English (NE) listeners were asked to write down 80 English words that were presented in noise. The words differed in neighborhood density (ND: dense versus sparse); half were Spanish-accented (produced by a NS talker), the other hal...
