a: Chinese words can consist of a single or multiple characters, with the two‐character form being the dominant one. b: Pseudowords in the present study were constructed by combining the first character of one real word (e.g., the first character in the Chinese word for leader) with the second character of another real word (e.g., the second character of the Chinese word for countryside), provided such combination did not correspond to a real word. English words in parentheses are translations for the Chinese words.
