Descripción
Data from a large scale lexical decision task study, involving 7500 Spanish words and 918 Spanish speakers. Words are characterised in many variables that are known to affect word processing: emotional valence, emotional arousal, concreteness, familiarity, age of acquisition, logarithm of frequency, number of letters, number of syllables, number of phonemes, number of lexical neighbours, number of higher-frequency lexical neighbours, average Levenshtein distance of the 20 nearest lexical neighbours (OLD20), number of phonological neighbours, number of higher-frequency phonological neighbours, average bigram frequency, and average trigram frequency. It also includes discrete emotion ratings for 5 emotions: anger, disgust, fear, happiness, and sadness. Furthermore, we include data from participants: Big Five personality traits, age, and gender. The dataset includes RT and error data. This dataset can be used by researchers to test their hypotheses about visual word recognition.
