“…Hirsh and Funnell (1995) found that familiarity predicted the performance of patients suffering from progressive semantic dementia, as well as that of aphasics (Feyereisen, Van der Borght, & Seron, 1988). As in most normative studies, pictures of objects were presented, and the conceptual familiarity scores collected (e.g., Alario & Ferrand, 1999;Manoiloff, Artstein, Canavoso, Fernández, & Segui, 2010;Morrison, Chappell, & Ellis 1997;Rossion & Pourtois, 2004;Salmon et al, 2010;Sanfeliù & Fernandez, 1996;Snodgrass & Vanderwart, 1980). These measures could, in principle, be obtained from the modal names, since in certain studies conceptual familiarity scores have been used to investigate the involvement of semantic codes in visual word recognition (e.g., Bonin, Barry, Méot, & Chalard, 2004).…”

“…Snodgrass and Vanderwart's (1980) pioneering set of 260 standardized pictures for American English has been extended to 400 pictures (Cycowicz, Friedman, Rothstein, & Snodgrass, 1997). Although the latter, extended set was originally developed for children, norms have been collected for adult speakers of different languages, including French (Alario & Ferrand, 1999), Italian (Nisi, Longoni, & Snodgrass, 2000), Greek (Dimitropoulou, Duñabeitia, Blitsas, & Carreiras, 2009), Spanish (Manoiloff, Artstein, Canavoso, Fernández, & Segui, 2010;Sanfeliu & Electronic supplementary material The online version of this article (doi:10.3758/s13428-015-0602-3) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

Normative databases for pictorial stimuli are widely used in research on language processing in order to control for a number of psycholinguistic variables in the selected stimuli. Such resources are lacking for Arabic and its dialectal varieties. In the present study, we aimed to provide Tunisian Arabic (TA) normative data for 348 line drawings taken from Cycowicz, Friedman, Rothstein, and Snodgrass (1997), which include Snodgrass and Vanderwart's (1980) 260 pictures. Norms were collected for the following psycholinguistic variables: name agreement, familiarity, subjective frequency, and imageability. Word length data (in numbers of phonemes and syllables) are also listed in the database. We investigated the effects of these variables on word reading in TA. We found that word length and frequency were the best predictors of wordreading latencies in TA. Name agreement was also a significant predictor of word-reading latencies. A particularly interesting finding was that the semantic variables, imageability and familiarity, affected word-reading latencies in TA. Thus, it would seem that TA readers rely on semantics even when reading individual Arabic words that are transparent in terms of orthography-to-phonology mappings. This database represents a precious and much-needed psycholinguistic resource for researchers investigating language processing in Arabicspeaking populations.Keywords Normative database .

Visual word recognition It has long been established that standardized pictorial stimuli allow for more reliable comparisons between the results of different studies and for better control of psycholinguistic variables. As a result, their use has become common practice in experimental as well as clinical research on language. Indeed, the effects of several psycholinguistic variables on spoken and written word processing have been extensively documented among both healthy and language-impaired populations and in several languages, including English, French, Spanish,

“…The following criteria were used for selection of the concepts: (a) these concepts and the corresponding pictures are frequently used in psychological experiments and tests about semantic memory, (b) these concepts correspond to those included in the expanded norms for experimental pictures in Argentinean Spanish-speaking population (Manoiloff, Artstein, Canavoso, Fernández, & Segui, 2010), and (c) most of them are included in McRae et al's norms (precisely, 229 concepts). Each concept corresponds to a single noun in Argentinean Spanish.…”

Spanish semantic feature production norms for 400 concrete concepts

Semantic feature production norms provide many quantitative measures of different feature and concept variables that are necessary to solve some debates surrounding the nature of the organization, both normal and pathological, of semantic memory. Despite the current existence of norms for different languages, there are still no published norms in Spanish. This article presents a new set of norms collected from 810 participants for 400 living and nonliving concepts among Spanish speakers. These norms consist of empirical collections of features that participants used to describe the concepts. Four files were elaborated: a concept-feature file, a concept-concept matrix, a feature-feature matrix, and a significantly correlated features file. We expect that these norms will be useful for researchers in the fields of experimental psychology, neuropsychology, and psycholinguistics.
