Abstract/Summary
The Multilingual Picture (MultiPic) database has been instrumental in advancing psycholinguistic research by providing standardized norms for colored images across multiple languages. However, many lesser-studied languages remain underrepresented. This study introduces the Galician MultiPic dataset, which provides norms for naming agreement and conceptual familiarity for 500 colored images. Galician, a Western Ibero-Romance language spoken in northwestern Spain, represents a distinct linguistic context due to its bilingual coexistence with Spanish. Data were collected from 85 Galician speakers (all Galician-Spanish bilinguals). Results indicate an average name agreement (H statistic) of 0.71, reflecting the linguistic variability inherent to Galician. This new resource broadens the scope of MultiPic, enabling cross-linguistic comparisons and facilitating psycholinguistic studies in Galician. The dataset is publicly accessible, offering researchers a valuable tool for exploring cognitive processes within bilingual environments.
