Area of Science:

  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Psycholinguistics
  • Developmental Linguistics

Background:

  • Experimental research in cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics requires robust lexical databases.
  • Existing resources may not adequately capture the nuances of early language acquisition in specific linguistic communities.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a novel computerized database of Spanish words.
  • To support experimental research in cognitive psychology and psycholinguistics.
  • To provide comprehensive lexical information for early Spanish vocabulary.

Main Methods:

  • Compiled a database from the oral vocabulary of 200 Spanish-speaking children.
  • Data collected from children aged 11.16 to 49.16 months.
  • Included information on age of acquisition, orthography, grammar, semantics, and frequency for each word type.
