Validation of the Van Overschelde et al. (2004) category norms: Results from five experiments

Van Overschelde, Rawson, and Dunlosky (2004) collected category/exemplar norms from over 600 participants at three American universities. For each of 70 categories, participants generated as many exemplars as possible in 30 seconds. One measure computed from their data was the "TOTAL" stat...

Van Overschelde, Rawson et Dunlosky (2004) ont rassemblé des normes catégorielles recueillies auprès de plus de 600 participants provenant de trois universités américaines. Pour chacune des 70 catégories, les participants ont produit le plus d'éléments/de réponses possible en 30 secondes. La statistique TOTALE est l'une des mesures calculées à partir de leurs données. Il s'agit de la proportion de participants qui ont produit un élément/réponse en particulier pour une catégorie donnée. Cinq expériences menées dans la présente étude ont porté sur la capacité de la statistique TOTALE de prédire le temps de réaction (TR) pour une tâche de vérification catégorielle auprès de 236 participants. La corrélation simple entre le TOTAL et le logarithme népérien de TR était d'environ -0,20, le coût moyen (pente) allant du TOTAL élevé (prés de 1,0) au TOTAL bas (0,02) étant de l'ordre de 250 ms. Les résultats sont de même grandeur que ceux des recherches précédentes reposant sur les normes plus anciennes de Battig et Montague, ce qui tend à indiquer en l'occurrence que les normes de Van Overschelde et al. peuvent aujourd'hui remplacer avantageusement les anciennes normes.
