N2 - The recognition of unfamiliar regional and foreign accents represents a challenging taskfor the speech perception system (Floccia et al., 2006; Adank et al., 2009). Despite thefrequency with which we encounter such accents, the neural mechanisms supportingsuccessful perception of accented speech are poorly understood. Nonetheless,candidate neural substrates involved in processing speech in challenging listeningconditions, including accented speech, are beginning to be identified. This review willoutline neural bases associated with perception of accented speech in the light of currentmodels of speech perception, and compare these data to brain areas associated withprocessing other speech distortions. We will subsequently evaluate competing modelsof speech processing with regards to neural processing of accented speech. See Cristiaet al. (2012) for an in-depth overview of behavioral aspects of accent processing.
