Normas categoriales para una muestra de hablantes adultos del español de Argentina

In  this  paper  we  present the  first  category  norms  for  the  Spanish  of  Argentina.  Undergraduate  students  were assessed  in  a  written  fluency  task  in  20  semantic  categories:  animals,  fruits,  vegetables,  body  parts,  trees,  flowers, professions, tools, kitchen utensils, musical instruments, vehicles, furniture, clothing, appliances, school supplies, sports, parts of the house, games, countries and gemstones. We obtained data for the total number of members produced in each semantic category, average per category,  the frequency of earlier activated members in each category, the first item for each category and a range of presentation for each member. No previous work for the Spanish -speaking population of Argentina was found, although there are some category norms  for the Spanish-speaking population of other regions. We expect this data to be useful for research in the field of Psycholinguistics and Neurolinguistics, and also to provide suitable selection  of stimuli for assessment and treatment of patients with brai n injuries.
