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 are associates of ambiguous words. 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, and more than one meaning (e.g., River bank, money bank), affect the way that people use those words.

If you have questions or would like additional information you may contact Chlesea Eddington at c.m.eddington@gmail.com.

Thank you very much for your participation!
