Word Familiarity Norms as a Test Case: Improving Methodological Standards in Word Norming Research

2026-08-30

<p>Normative databases of word properties are essential for experimental psycholinguistics, yet methodological heterogeneity limits their reproducibility and comparability. Subjective word experience, particularly familiarity and subjective frequency, is inconsistently operationalized across studies.
