For each source, the relevant semantic feature(s), scale, number of words, and observations per word are specified

AROU arousal; VAL valence; DOM dominance; CNC concreteness; IMAG imageability; FAM familiarity; AOA age of acquisition; SIZE semantic size; GEND gender association; HUM humor

aWhere the number of observations for each word was available, the mean, and standard deviation in parentheses, are presented; otherwise, summary statistics are reported. bThis measure is test-based, not from a rating study. cAge estimates cover ages 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, and 14
