Interventions/Control_1

The spatial comprehension task was administered. Sentences involving human relationships (e.g., uncle-nephew) were excluded, as they were expected to be influenced by generational differences. Similarly, spatial relations (e.g., "the triangle is to the right of the circle and to the left of the square") were excluded due to the anticipated influence of visuospatial processing.
The task was based on Urano et al. (2011) and consisted of 30 sentences involving relational understanding: 12 temporal relation items, 12 two-element comparison items, and 6 three-element comparison items. For each item type, half of the sentences included word order transformation and/or reference point transformation. All items were presented in a randomized order.
As a control condition, an additional 30 sentences without relational content were created, matched in structure to include or exclude word order and reference point transformations in the same manner.
