Abstract: | In this article, normative data on the familiarity and difficulty of 196 single-solution Spanish word fragments are presented.
The database includes the following indices: difficulty, familiarity, frequency, number of meanings, number of letters given
in the fragment, first and/or last letters given, and ratio of letters to blanks. A factor analysis was performed on difficulty,
and two factors were obtained. Frequency, familiarity, and number of meanings loaded highly on the first factor, which we
consider to measure lexical processes, whereas number of letters in the fragment, first and/or last letters given, and ratio
of letters to blanks loaded highly on the second factor, which we judge to be determined by perceptual information. Regression
analyses using factor scores as predictors showed that both factors accounted for a significant part of the completion probability
scores. The full set of these norms may be downloaded from the Psychonomic Society Web archive atwww.psychonomic.org/archive/. |
