ABSTRACT
Norms are presented of Word Set Size (WSS)for 906 Portuguese words.WSS corresponds to the number of different associates produced by, at least, two subjects. The free association technique, which considered only the first response, was usedto collect the associates. Seven hundred fifty six undergraduates from different schools and majors participated in this study. Associates were produced by at least 100 subjects per cue word. Results indicated that WSS distribution resembles a normal distribution and it is orthogonal to measures of concreteness, word frequency, valence and arousal whose values are presented for each word.
