The own-voice benefit for word recognition in early bilinguals (Cheung and Babel 2022)

https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2022.901326/full

Familiar accents and voices receive a range of processing benefits including higher recognition rates, intelligibility boosts, and increased attention in the context of competing speech (e.g., Bradlow and Bent, 2008; Adank et al., 2009; Johnsrude et al., 2013; Holmes et al., 2018).

Reviewer two wants us to change hypothesis 3 (not gonna happen), but to keep them happy we can talk about familiarity more. The Cheung and Babel (2022) ref can help this a bit.

It still feels strange to have a specific hypothesis about the Cuban variety in the introduction (p. 13, l. 44-45) without any information yet on the pilot or the nature of Cuban intonation. I think it would make more sense to make hypothesis about familiarity. I mean: instead of saying “we hypothesize that L2 learners will have the most difficulty with the Cuban variety”, to say that they will have more difficulty with the variety they are less familiar with, and then in the methods and results we will already learn that this is the Cuban variety.
