Debriefing Word Meaning Rating Study

The purpose of this study is to collect normative data about words in English. We are interested in the similarity in meaning for pairs of English words that happen to share translations into Spanish. We are using the normative data you provided, along with that of other participants, to better understand how a word having more than one translation into another language, affects the way that people use those words.

If you have questions or would like additional information you may contact Natasha Tokowicz at tokowicz@pitt.edu.

Thank you very much for your participation!
