Chinese L2 Learners' Cognitive Profiles

The participants were 38 undergraduate students studying Chinese at a university in Beijing (18 male, 20 female; mean age = 21.53, SD = 2.05). All the participants were native Korean speakers and had studied Chinese for a mean of 6.81 years (SD = 3.65). They were intermediate and advanced Chinese L2 learners, with an average score of 25.47 (SD = 3.07, ranging from 19 to 30) in the fixed-ratio cloze test (full score: 30, Feng et al., 2020 (link)). The participants had no medical history of learning disabilities, attention deficit, hearing or visual impairment. They were recruited through experimental advertisements, gave informed consent to participate in the experiment, and were paid after the experiment.
