Accent modulates access to word meaning: Evidence for a speaker-model account of spoken word recognition.

There was also a marginally significant interaction between group and accent ( β = −0.51, SE = 0.27, z = −1.87, p = 0.062).

As expected, accent had a highly significant effect, with more American-meaning responses when a word was spoken in an American than British accent (or accent context) (34% vs. 26%, β = 0.60, SE = 0.12, z = 5.08, p < 0.001); trial order did not produce a significant effect ( β = 0.004, SE = 0.11, z = 0.03, p = 0.974) and did not modulate the accent effect ( β = −0.06, SE = 0.22, z = −0.29, p = 0.774).
