ELI5: Why do we begin to pick up accents after only being somewhere new for a short period of time

For example, my friends are from the North and went to Florida for Spring Break -- after only a couple days a couple of my buddies unknowingly began using a southern dialect with a few of their words. I've done this too when I was in Sweden.

People naturally tend to do things to fit in with other people, even subconsciously. Accents make people stand out like sore thumbs, and you and your brain both know it. So, even after a short period of time, you just kind of start speaking like those in your environment.
