This paper presents a database of word association norms developed for researchers interested in language and/or memory and more particularly in developmental aspects. This normative work concerns single free association norms for 200 words in the French language, collected from 1 200 children (9-, 10-and 11-year-old children) and 400 adults, between the ages of 18 and 34. The selection of experimental material in psycholinguistics often involves consideration of certain characteristics of words that we want to study and to take into account. So, the word association norms constitute an important tool for all researchers in psycholinguistics concerning the construction and control of experimental material. The comparison children/ adults show a recovery rate (with respect to adults' responses) of 62,5 % for 9-year-old children, of 63 % for 10-year-old children and of 68,5 % for 11-year-old children.
