Semantic fluency responses in Spanish (L1) and English (L2) from Spanish primary-school children

Abstract

This dataset contains the primary semantic-fluency response sequences used in the analyses of the related article. The participants were 192 Spanish-L1 primary-school pupils in Grades 4-6 learning English as a foreign language. Each child was assigned two semantic categories in Spanish (L1) and two different categories in English (L2) in a crossed design. The categories were animals, fruits, body parts, and clothing. Participants had two minutes per task to write as many category members as possible.

The dataset contains 724 participant-language-category tasks and 9,070 written responses. Response order is retained within each task. Original participant codes and the mapping between those codes and the neutral identifiers in this dataset are not deposited.
