Russian normative data for 375 action pictures and verbs

Abstract

The present article introduces a Russian-language database of 375 action pictures and associated verbs with normative data. The pictures were normed for name agreement, conceptual familiarity, and subjective visual complexity, and measures of age of acquisition, imageability, and image agreement were collected for the verbs. Values of objective visual complexity, as well as information about verb frequency, length, argument structure, instrumentality, and name relation, are also provided. Correlations between these parameters are presented, along with a comparative analysis of the Russian name agreement norms and those collected in other languages. The full set of pictorial stimuli and the obtained norms may be freely downloaded from http://neuroling.ru/en/db.htm for use in research and for clinical purposes.

Ratings of age of acquisition of 299 words across 25 languages: Is there a cross-linguistic order of words?

“…These scales were mostly used as variants of Likert-type scales (see the descriptions in Table 3) in studies in which norms for other psycholinguistic variables, such as familiarity, imageability, concreteness, meaningfulness, visual complexity, name and image agreement, and subjective frequency were collected in addition to AoA (e.g., Akinina et al, 2014;Alario & Ferrand, 1999;Bakhtiar, Nilipour, & Weekes, 2013;Barca, Burani, & Arduino, 2002;Bird, Franklin, & Howard, 2001;Bonin, Peereman, Malardier, Méot, & Chalard, 2003;Cuetos, Ellis, & Alvarez, 1999;Della Rosa, Catricalà, Vigliocco, & Cappa, 2010;Dimitropoulou, Duñabeitia, Blitsas, & Carreiras, 2009;Ferrand et al, 2008;Gilhooly & Logie, 1980;Liu, Hao, Li, & Shu, 2011;Liu, Shu, & Li, 2007;Manoiloff, Artstein, Canavoso, Fernández, & Segui, 2010;Moreno-Martínez, Montoro, & Rodríguez-Rojo, 2014;Nishimoto, Miyawaki, Ueda, Une, & Takahashi, 2005;Pind, Jónsdóttir, Gissurardóttir, & Jónsson, 2000;Raman, Raman, & Mertan, 2014;Salmon, McMullen, & Filliter, 2010;Shao, Roelofs, & Meyer, 2014;Sirois et al, 2006;Snodgrass & Yuditsky, 1996;Stration, Jacobus, & Brinley, 1975;Tsaparina, Bonin, & Méot, 2011;Vinson, Cormier, Denmark, Schembri, & Vigliocco, 2008). Other scales have sometimes been modified according Table 3 Most popular scales used in the studies on subjective age of acquisition Scale Description Examples of Studies 5-point 1 = 3 years or earlier, 2 = 4 to 6 years, 3 = 7 to 9 years, 4 = 10 to 12 years, 5 = 13 years or later Akinina et al (2014); …”

Age of acquisition (AoA) effect in monolingual Russian and bilingual Russian (L1)-English (L2) speakers in a free recall task

“…This is because there are no previous reports on AoA in Russian bar two recent normative studies (Akinina et al, 2015;Tsaparina et al, 2011). It is therefore of importance to establish that AoA effect in free recall exists in monolingual Russian speakers before turning our attention to bilingual Russian (L1) -English (L2) speakers.…”
