In the current poster we present the first Spanish Semantic Feature Production Norms. They provide many quantitative measures of different feature and concept variables that are useful for theoretical and experimental issues regarding semantic memory. The information they supply can be of interest for researchers in the fields of experimental psychology, neuropsychology and psycholinguistics. Despite the current existence of norms for English, Italian and German population, there are still no published norms in Spanish. We present a new set of norms collected for 400 living and nonliving concepts. Participants were 810 grade students (age 20-40) native Spanish speakers. They were asked to give as many features as possible to describe concepts. Each participant produced features for 15 concepts. Data were unified and codified. Then many concept and feature variables were calculated. As a result four matrixes were elaborated: a concept-feature matrix, a concept-concept matrix, a feature-feature matrix and a significantly correlated features matrix. We present the variables included in this four matrixes.
