Research on the issue in Dutch has been hampered by the fact that only teacher ratings were available about which words should be known by 6-year-olds. As a supplement to these teacher ratings, we conducted a large-scale study in which 558 students rated the agr-of-acquisition of 2816 four- and five-letter nouns. Reliability of the ratings is high, and correlations with word frequency and word imageability are in the same order as those reported for English. date: 2000 date_type: published publication: Psychologica Belgica volume: 40 number: 2 pagerange: 77-98 refereed: TRUE citation: Ghyselinck, M. and De Moor, W. and Brysbaert, M.
