 Description

The dataset contains 17,164 computer-generated Slovenian pseudowords empirically normed through an online lexical-decision task conducted from November 2024 to September 2025. The pseudowords were generated using Wuggy (Keuleers & Brysbaert, 2010; https://github.com/WuggyCode/wuggy), based on source words drawn from the Dictionary of the Slovenian Standard Language, 2nd Edition (SSKJ2), the Dictionary of the Slovenian Standard Language, 3rd Edition (eSSKJ), and the Growing Dictionary of the Slovenian Language, as described by Perdih et al. (2026). A total of 39,064 unique participants completed 48,661 sessions, each comprising 84 words and 36 pseudowords. Although 19,742 pseudowords were included in the task, the final dataset contains 17,164 items following further data cleaning (see Pavlič & Perdih, 2026). For each pseudoword, the dataset provides mean response time and false-alarm rate, along with length, syllable structure, number of syllables, proportion of consonants, source word, and two measures of orthographic neighbourhood density (OLD1 and OLD20). Syllabified forms of both the pseudoword and its source word are also provided. LITERATURE Keuleers, E., & Brysbaert, M. (2010). Wuggy: A multilingual pseudoword generator.
