An adapted version of the LEAP-Q (Marian et al. 2007) was used to assess each participant’s linguistic and cultural backgrounds. The first set of questions contained demographic questions, including age, years of formal education, gender, and any history of hearing or vision impairments. The second set of questions targeted their language history. Participants were asked to report the languages they spoke, including any non-native languages. For each language listed, participants rated their level of proficiency from 1 to 10 (1 = very low and 10 = perfect) and reported the age of acquisition. The third set of questions pertained to the participant’s cultural background. Participants were asked to list the cultures they identified with. For each culture listed, participants rated the extent to which they identified with each culture on a scale from 0 to 10 (0 = no identification and 10 = complete identification), and the percentage of time spent exposed to each culture. Lastly, participants listed the countries they had previously lived in, and the duration of time spent in each country.
