This article was published with a mistake on page 2–3.

The published version appeared as follows:

Since Spanish lacks phonological vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, L1 Spanish listeners are less familiar from their first language with the acoustic-phonetic cues to strong reductions, and thus the mechanisms to deal with this casual speech phenomenon are potentially delayed or even inhibited in word recognition.

This should have read:

Since Spanish lacks phonological vowel reduction in unstressed syllables, L1 Spanish listeners are less familiar from their first language with the acoustic-phonetic cues to strong reductions and thus the mechanisms to deal with this casual speech phenomenon, potentially delaying or even inhibiting word recognition.

We apologise for this error.
