The aim of the present study was to collect Swedish norm data for category-exemplar associative strength. A category name was read aloud to participants who were instructed to write down as many exemplars as possible during a 30 seconds time window. This procedure was repeated for 80 categories. Frequency and average recall position for all responses that were generated by five percent or more of the participants are presented. (Less)
