Pearson coefficients for 18 sets of norms reporting scales corresponding to the Glasgow Norms (note that no norms were available for semantic size). For each of the norms, the number of total items (Nsource) and the number of identical items within the Glasgow Norms (Noverlap) that were used for the correlations are indicated. Norms 8 and 17 examine different senses of ambiguous words. All correlations were highly significant (ps < .0001, Bonferroni corrected). Correlations with a large effect (r > .5, see Cohen, 1988) are printed in bold. References for the 18 norms are as follows: 1 = Bradley and Lang (1999); 2 = Warriner et al. (2013); 3 = Brysbaert et al. (2014); 4 = Cortese and Fugett (2004); 5 = Schock, Cortese, and Khanna (2012); 6 = Paivio et al. (1968); 7 = Gilhooly and Logie (1980a); 8 = Gilhooly and Logie (1980b); 9 = Stadthagen-Gonzalez and Davis (2006); 10 = Juhasz et al. (2015); 11 = Clark and Paivio (2004); 12 = Bird et al. (2001); 13 = Davies et al. (2016); 14 = Cortese and Khanna (2008); 15 = Schock, Cortese, et al. (2012); 16 = Kuperman et al. (2012); 17 = Khanna and Cortese (2011); and 18 = Crawford et al. (2004)
