Non-native speech distractors are automatically imitated more than native ones, especially pre-training.
Participants showed higher imitation effects for non-native contrasts during SRC tasks, before and after training.
Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation revealed greater excitability in the motor cortex for non-native speech perception.
These findings suggest the speech motor system serves as an adaptive control mechanism for speech processing challenges.
