We have created a comprehensive database to enhance our understanding of content-specific processing within the category of manipulable objects. Here, we offer eight documents associated with the paper "Semantic feature production norms for manipulable objects" by "Valério, Hussain & Almeida, 2023, Cognitive Neuropsychology".
The first document is the General Database, containing information on
i) Features related to 80 manipulable objects in Portuguese and their English translation;
ii) Production frequencies for each feature;
iii) Feature type;
iv) CPF;
v) Categorization into D/ND;
vi) The ratio 1/CPF.
The second document is the Action database, where we provide:
i) Features related to the manner of grasp and manipulation of the 80 objects in Portuguese and English translation;
ii) Production frequencies for each feature;
iii) CPF;
iv) Categorization into D/ND;
v) The ratio 1/CPF.
The third document, titled "Statistics per Object”, comprises information per object (instead of per feature). We calculated the Familiarity values, and for both the General and Action databases, we provide i) the number of features per object, ii) the number of shared features, iii) the number of distinctive features, and iv) the mean distinctiveness for each object.
We offer the cosine similarity values for the 80 manipulable objects in the General database, Action database, and feature types Vision, Function, and Encyclopedic.
