German norms for semantic typicality, age of acquisition, and concept familiarity for 824 exemplars of 11 semantic categories, including four natural (animals, birds, fruits, and vegetables) and five man-made (clothing, furniture, vehicles, tools, and musical instruments) categories, as well as professions and sports. Each category exemplar in the data was collected empirically in an exemplar generation study. All frequency values were taken from the German dlexDB database Heister et al. 2011.
