Objective age of acquisition norms for 201 Spanish emotional words
Current Psychology (noviembre de 2023)
Descripción
Objective age of acquisition of 201 Spanish words that relate to emotions without explicitly referring to affective states (emotion-laden words, e.g., cake, tomb, rainbow) using a picture naming task. Three hundred and sixty participants belonging to 18 age groups from preschool to adolescence overtly named line drawings corresponding to positive, negative, and neutral concrete nouns. It might be useful for a broad community of researchers examining emotional language processing in both children and adults. For example, it might be valuable for investigating aspects such as the acquisition of emotional words in second languages or the interaction between lexico-semantic variables and word emotional properties in language comprehension and production studies.
