a

L-IN: loose containment; T-IN: tight containment; L-ON: loose support; T-ON: tight support.

b

Between the two choices, the bold-faced relation received a score of 1 when it was chosen. There were a total of six trials for each Triad Type. Therefore, the maximum score a participant would get for a given triad type was 6.

c

Crosslinguistic difference is significant, p<0.0028.

d

Crosslinguistic difference closely approached significance.
