Participants filled out the Language Experience and Proficiency Questionnaire (Marian, Blumenfeld, & Kaushanskaya, 2007) and were classified according their self-reported comprehension ability on a 1-10 scale. Participants who reported their comprehension skills for all non-English languages as 5 or less were considered monolingual.
