| Annotation | Sentence-final word completion norms for 119 sentence contexts based on the original sentence completion norms of Bloom and Fischler (1980) are described. Four sets of norms are made available for 358 Canadian and American adults representing. young, middle-aged, young-old and old-old samples. Notable in these norms is a high degree of consistency to responses among all four age samples. Differences in relation to the original Bloom and Fischler norms appear to be responses to low contextually constraining sentences. Results show that the recovery with which normative data are collected is an important variable to consider when making use of norms. (RH) |
