The study was conducted over two days for non-native participants, and one day for native participants. We adopted a two-day schedule for non-native participants as they required more time to understand instructions than native speakers. On day 1, the participants took the Japanese proficiency test, and the experimental procedure was explained to them, which helped avoid withdrawal of participation in the actual experiment on the day. The Japanese proficiency test was administered individually in a classroom setting with an examiner present and lasted approximately 3 min. On day 2, the fMRI experiment was conducted. Before the experiment, participants received experimental instruction. The fMRI experiment was divided into three runs.
