[Imagery norms and subjective frequency of 1,760 monosyllabic words in the French language]
30 May 2009 This study aimed at providing subjective frequency and imageability norms for a sample of 1,760 monosyllabic French words and thereby, increasing the pool of normative data available for research in cognitive science and language processing. The ...
