“…The rating instructions used by Amsel et al (2012) were translated into Spanish (see the exact instructions in the Appendix), and an 8-point rating scale was used for each question. The data were collected using two similar systems: the first set of words were rated using Online Ratings of Visual Stimuli (OR-Vis), an open-source software tool (Hirschfeld, Bien, de Vries, Lüttmann, & Schwall, 2010), and Sets 2 and 3 were implemented using identical applications programmed in jsPsych (de Leeuw, 2015), a JavaScript library for creating behavioral experiments in a Web browser. This change was due to the fact that our OR-Vis application depended on a server that became no longer operational as the study progressed.…”

Normative ratings for perceptual and motor attributes of 750 object concepts in Spanish

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Subjective ratings of perceptual and motor attributes were obtained for a set of 750 concrete concepts in Spanish by requiring scale-based judgments from a sample of university students (N = 539). Following on the work of Amsel, Urbach, and Kutas (2012), the seven attributes were color, motion, sound, smell, taste, graspability, and pain. Normative data based on the obtained ratings are provided as a tool for future investigations. Additionally, the relationships of these attributes to other lexical dimensions (e.g., familiarity, frequency, concreteness) and the factorial organization of concepts around the main components were analyzed. The pattern of results is consistent with prior findings that highlight the relevance of dimensions related to survival as being crucially involved in conceptual processing.

“…A pretest was used to select the pictures and to construct the noun phrases. One hundred forty objects in two different states were presented with an online software for rating visual stimuli (Hirschfeld, Bien, De Vries, Lüttmann, & Schwall, ). Seventy participants from the same participant pool as the main study labeled the objects and gave a one‐word description of their state.…”

Listening to “flying ducks”: Individual differences in sentence–picture verification investigated with ERPs

The present ERP study investigated individual differences in the integration of verbal descriptions and visual object representations. Participants saw pictures of objects (e.g., a swimming duck) after listening to noun phrases describing the same object in the identical state, a shape-mismatching state ("flying duck"), or an incongruent object (e.g., "sliced bread"). Individual differences in the vividness of mental imagery and preference for mental imagery were assessed after the experiment. ERP effects of context arose 170 ms after picture onset, differentiating the incongruent-object context from the other two. The N400 mirrored these context effects. Self-rated vividness of imagery affected responses to pictures already after 100 ms, and modulated the N400 effect. Participants with highly vivid imagery showed larger context effects than participants low in imagery. The context effects at 170 ms were not modulated by individual differences.

“…The 5,500 stimuli were randomly divided into 11 questionnaires, which were administered using Online Ratings of Visual Stimuli (OR-Vis), an open-source software tool (Hirschfeld, Bien, de Vries, Lüttmann, & Schwall, 2010) developed to conduct rating studies. Each questionnaire contained 500 different words, as well as 23 repeated words, selected randomly from among the words within each questionnaire, that would allow for a subsequent intrasubject reliability test.…”

Sensory experience ratings for 5,500 Spanish words

et al. 2018

Sensory experience rating (SER) is a recently developed subjective lexical index that reflects the extent to which a word evokes a sensory and/or perceptual experience in a reader (Juhasz & Yap, 2013; Juhasz, Yap, Dicke, Taylor, & Gullick, 2011). In the present study, SERs for a set of 5,500 Spanish words were collected, which makes this the largest set of norms for SER in the Spanish language to date. Additionally, with the aim of further exploring the implications of this new indicator and its relations with other psycholinguistic variables, a variety of correlational and regression analyses are provided. The results showed that SERs significantly correlated with imageability, age of acquisition, and a number of variables related to perception and emotion. In addition, SERs predicted a significant amount of variance in lexical decision times when other variables were controlled.
