In this study, we present the normative values of the adaptation of the International Affective Digitized Sounds (IADS-2; Bradley & Lang, 2007a) for European Portuguese (EP). The IADS-2 is a standardized database of 167 naturally occurring sounds that is widely used in the study of emotions. The sounds were rated by 300 college students who were native speakers of EP, in the three affective dimensions of valenc...
Recent research with skilled adult readers has consistently revealed an advantage of consonants over vowels in visual-word recognition (i.e., the so-called "consonant bias"). Nevertheless, little is known about how early in development the consonant bias emerges. This work aims to address this issue by studying the relative contribution of consonants and vowels at the early stages of visual-word recognition in ...
This study presents the results of the adaptation of the International Affective Picture System (IAPS; Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 2008) for European Portuguese (EP). Following the original procedure of Lang et al. (1995-2008), 2,000 native speakers of EP rated the 1,182 pictures of the last version of the IAPS set on the three affective dimensions of valence, arousal and dominance, using the Self-Assessment Man...
Accepted manuscript. Epub ahead of print, 29 Sep. 2014.; We examined the potential advantage of the lexical databases using subtitles and present SUBTLEX-PT, a new lexical database for 132,710 Portuguese words obtained from a 78 million corpus based on film and television series subtitles, offering word-frequency and contextual diversity measures. Additionally we validated SUBTLEX-PT with a lexical decision stu...
Words are widely used as stimuli in cognitive research. Because of their complexity, using words requires a strict control of their objective (lexical and sublexical) and subjective properties. In this work we present the Minho Word Pool (MWP), a dataset that provides normative values of imageability, concreteness and subjective frequency for 3,800 (European) Portuguese words, three subjective measures, which i...
An increasing number of psycholinguistic studies have adopted a megastudy approach to explore the role that different variables play in the speed and/or accuracy with which words are recognised and/or pronounced in different languages. However, despite evidence for deep and shallow orthographies, little is known about the role that several orthographic, phonological and semantic variables play in visual word re...
