The present study introduces the first substantial German database with norms for semantic typicality, age of acquisition, and concept familiarity for 824 exemplars of 11 semantic categories, including four natural (ANIMALS, BIRDS, FRUITS,: and VEGETABLES: ) and five man-made (CLOTHING, FURNITURE, VEHICLES, TOOLS: , and MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS: ) categories, as well as PROFESSIONS: and SPORTS: . Each category exemplar in the database was collected empirically in an exemplar generation study. For each category exemplar, norms for semantic typicality, estimated age of acquisition, and concept familiarity were gathered in three different rating studies. Reliability data and additional analyses on effects of semantic category and intercorrelations between age of acquisition, semantic typicality, concept familiarity, word length, and word frequency are provided. Overall, the data show high inter- and intrastudy reliabilities, providing a new resource tool for designing experiments with German word materials. The full database is available in the supplementary material of this file and also at www.psychonomic.org/archive .
本研究介绍了第一个具有德语语义典型性、习得年龄和概念熟悉度常模的大型数据库，涵盖了 11 个语义类别中的 824 个示例，包括 4 个自然类别（ANIMALS、BIRDS、FRUITS 和 VEGETABLES）和 5 个人造类别（CLOTHING、FURNITURE、VEHICLES、TOOLS 和 MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS），以及两个职业类别（PROFESSIONS 和 SPORTS）。数据库中的每个类别示例都是通过示例生成研究进行实证收集的。对于每个类别示例，在三个不同的评分研究中收集了语义典型性、估计习得年龄和概念熟悉度的常模。提供了可靠性数据和关于语义类别、习得年龄、语义典型性、概念熟悉度、单词长度和单词频率之间的相互关系的额外分析。总体而言，数据显示出高的组内和组间可靠性，为使用德语单词材料设计实验提供了新的资源工具。完整的数据库可在本文件的补充材料以及 www.psychonomic.org/archive 中获得。
