Description of experimental outcome measures

Neurocognitive measure	Description	Administration and scoring
List learning	Three different lists of 16 words adapted from Hanten et al. (2007) were used. For each list, the words were divided into two similar sets of 8 words (one set spoken by a female voice and the other by a male voice, randomized within the list). The words within a list were designated by voice (male or female) as either high‐value (10 points) or low‐value (1 point).	Words were presented one at a time auditorily. Recall elicited at the end of each list.
		Scoring
		Strategic Attention: Number of high value words recalled on each trial.
		Memory Span: Total number of words recalled on each trial
Text processing	Narrative of 550 words about a man's life and the eight jobshe attempted throughout his life in an effort to make life better for others.	Participant asked to read the narrative, generate lessons, and recall details.
		Scoring
		Adopted from previous studies by Ulatowska et al. (1998) and Chapman et al. (2002).
		Abstraction: Scored on a pre‐established scale of 0–6. Scores fall on a continuum, representing qualitative differences in the nature of response, with lower scores indicating problems in abstracting meaning and higher scores indicating greater ability to abstract meaning across the text content.
		Detail memory: Number of details recalled out of a possible 24 details.
