Abstract

This paper presents the University of Valencia's computerized word pool. This is a database that includes 16,109 Spanish words, together with 11 psychological variables for limited groups of items. The purpose behind the creation of this database was to have available a large quantity of verbal stimuli in a well-controlled system, ready for automatic selection. The description in-cludes a summary of statistics on each of the 11 psychological variables, together with a correla-tional and factor analysis of them. This statistical analysis produces results close to those ob-tained for equivalent English material.
