A database distinguishing concreteness, imageability and emotional valence values for nouns and verbs in French

Concreteness, imageability or emotional valence are known to determine performance in different psycholinguistic tasks. Yet, existing databases for these psycholinguistic parameters in the French language are limited and the difference between imageability and concreteness is often neglected. The present work extends existing database by providing imageability, concreteness and emotional valence values for 177 nouns and 165 verbs. Data were collected from 258 native French speakers from France and Belgium. We provide mean imageability, concreteness and emotional valence values, as well as inter-rater reliability values for each value and stimulus. The database is available on https://osf.io/453ft/.
