We present norms for completion of 807 European Portuguese sentences. For each sentence, we provide measures of context constraint (type-token ratio and proportion of idiosyncratic responses) and word expectancy (cloze probability). In addition, we evaluate the impact of production procedure (single- vs. multiple-production procedures) and method of response analysis (first- vs. combined-response analyses). The database is freely available for researchers.
This paper presents norms for pictures of objects, scenes and object-scene pairs forming congruent and incongruent relations. Objects belong to several semantic categories (e.g., tools, kitchen utensils, musical instruments), and scenes are either indoor or outdoor environments (e.g., library, forest). For each picture, we provide norming data for name agreement, familiarity and visual complexity. Moreover, the database includes several object-scene pairs and norms for their semantic congruency. The database is freely available to researchers.
This pdf presents the paper where the average results in a screening test for reading difficulties in Portuguese college students is presented. Detailed information is presented regarding the results of a clinical group of Portuguese dyslexic adults and the cut-off values for typical Portuguese College Students (with regular reading skills) in a screening test for reading difficulties.
Ventura (2005) reports the Portuguese norms for the 140 pictures of the database published by Cycowicz, Friedman, Rohstein, & Snodgrass (1997) in the picture dimensions: familiarity, value for the percipient, visual ambiguity, age of acquisition, actual size, manipulability and characteristic movement. These values are presented in the Appendix of the pdf.
Ventura (2003) reports the Portuguese norms for a subset of 219 pictures out of the 260 of Snodgrass and Vanderwart in the picture dimensions: familiarity, value for the percipient, visual ambiguity, age of acquisition, actual size, manipulability, and characteristic movement. These values are presented in the Appendix of the pdf.
