The participants were asked to estimate the degree to which they thought about or came into contact with a concept, using a 7-point scale (from 1 less than once a month to 7 many times a day).
This study presents a database of 499 words from five semantic categories: animals, body parts, furniture, clothing, and intelligence. Each category contains 100 words, and data on lexical availability, age of acquisition, imageability, typicality, concept familiarity, written word frequency, and word length in number of syllables are provided with each word. The words, semantic categorization, and lexical availability are taken from Hernandez-Munoz 2002 and the frequency norms are based on Alameda and Cuetos 1995.
