p < 0.05 (one-tailed). The R2 change column shows the increase in R2 after adding L1 proficiency and L2 proficiency predictor variables and its significance. The L1 proficiency and L2 proficiency column shows the significance of the L1 proficiency and L2 proficiency predictor variables in the regression analyses, respectively.
