Abstract
Normative data were collected from samples of students from The City University, London, and other London colleges, for 12 semantic categories. Measures of typicality, familiarity and associative frequency are listed. These data are published as a research tool for semantic memory research in the UK. The reliability and intercorrelation of the measures are reported, and their correlation with previous American measures is discussed. The results permit certain important conclusions to be drawn about the role of familiarity in typicality ratings, and about the determinants of associative frequency.
