• Resumen

  • This article presents concreteness, imageability, subjective and emotional valence norms for a set of 866 words. The norms were collected from 97 participants, all French native speakers whose mean age was 23. Descriptive statistics and correlational analyses have been performed on these norms and on other estimated (age of acquistion, conceptual familiarity, image variability) and objective (word frequency) published indexes. The correlational analyses reveal the composite nature of certain estimations. In particular, subjective frequency and imageability are highly correlated with the other variables. Concreteness is highly correlated only with imageability and emotional valence, the latter which is weakly correlated with the other variables. Researchers must have at their disposal such information in order to select stimuli in factorial studies or to perform multiple regression analyses.
