Prevalence norms for 40,777 Catalan words: An online megastudy of vocabulary size.

In this study, we present word prevalence data (i.e., the number of people who know a given word) for 40,777 Catalan words.

However, the advent of the internet now allows this problem to be solved through the creation of megastudies. Yet, this methodology so far has only been used in studies on vocabulary size, while general knowledge, another key component of crystallized intelligence, remains unexamined.

NIM: A Web-based Swiss army knife to select stimuli for psycholinguistic studies.

NIM is Web-based software developed to help experimenters with some of the usual tasks carried out in psycholinguistic studies. It allows the user to search for words according to several variables, such as length, matching substrings, lexical frequency, or part of speech, in English, Spanish, and Catalan. NIM also provides the user with the possibilities to obtain different word metrics, such as lexical frequency, length, and part of speech; to find intralanguage and cross-language lexical neighbors; and to get control words for critical stimuli.
