Cross-form priming of words by pictures was compared to within-form priming of words by words in a lexical decision task. For prime—target pairs containing repetitions of a concept or semantically related concepts, pictures provided priming of word targets in magnitudes at least as large as the priming provided by words themselves. Such equivalent...
In this article we present a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial representation. The pictures have been standardized on four...
Presents a standardized set of 260 pictures for use in experiments investigating differences and similarities in the processing of pictures and words. The pictures are black-and-white line drawings executed according to a set of rules that provide consistency of pictorial representation. They have been standardized on 4 variables of central relevan...

... An additional set of stimuli was selected for the use during an L2 picture naming task designed to assess participant's objective English proficiency. To this end, a set of 90 black-and-white pictures equally divided between high (30), medium (30), and low (30) familiarity conditions were extracted from the Snodgrass & Vanderwart image database (Snodgrass & Vanderwart, 1980). These were matched across familiarity conditions for the age of acquisition, name agreement, and visual complexity (all p>0.05). ...
... To better understand whether and how such factors influence any possible predictive coding effects on the N1, we could manipulate prediction error magnitude and precision while the participant's task 843 instructions do not explicitly require processing of the cue. For instance, we could use a picture-word priming design(Sperber et al., 1979;Vanderwart, 1984), presenting picture-word pairs, as in the current study, but ask participants to respond with lexical decisions. Here, prediction error magnitude could be operationalised as the orthographic distance between the string (whether word or non-word), and precision as the predictability of a word given its picture. ...
... The refresh rate was 16.21 ms and symbols were randomly chosen from the following set: carbell -house -sun -hat -dog (Figure 1). Decisions on which symbols to choose were based on Snodgrass and Vanderwart's (1980) list of 260 stimuli: From this list, six symbols were chosen depicting nouns having the following criteria: high frequency (>38 occurrences per 1 000 000, Brysbaert and New, 2009), consisting of not more than one syllable, high concept familiarity ratings (Barry et al., 1997), and belonging to different semantic categories: transport -instrument -dwelling -celestial bodyclothes -animal. Before the start of each assessment the child was shown symbols used in the task and was asked to identify each one of them. ...
