Digital photography has facilitated the use of more ecological stimuli than line drawings as experimental stimuli. However, there is lack of evidence regarding the effect of the picture format on children´s naming agreement. The present work investigated whether the format of presentation of the pictures (line drawing or photograph) affects naming task performance in children. Two naming task experiments are reported using 106 concepts depicted both as a photograph and as a matched drawing delineated directly from the photograph. Thirty-eight and thirty-four Spanish-speaking children from 8 to 10 years old participated in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 respectively. We examined name agreement measures (H index, percentage of modal name, and alternative responses) and subjective scales (familiarity and visual complexity). The results revealed a significant main effect of format in all of the variables except for familiarity, indicating better name agreement indices and higher visual complexity values for the photograph format than for the line drawing format. Additionally, line drawings were more likely to produce alternative incorrect names. The implications of these findings for psychoeducational research and practice are discussed.

“…We believe that the results of this study have several implications for the selection of Manuscript to be reviewed When children are exposed to simple drawings, they gather the typical salient elements of the object that help to develop figurative representations, flexibility of cognitive representation, and symbolic capacity during childhood (Simcock & DeLoache, 2006). This format also has less visual complexity, which could facilitate visual processing and influence naming latencies (Shao & Stiegert, 2016) whilst also having the added benefit of substantially reducing printing costs compared with colored photographs. On the other hand, colored photographs can facilitate object naming and provide ecological stimuli that allow specific transference to objects.…”

“…A pioneering normative study is the one reported by Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980). This consisted of 260 black-and-white line drawings with norms for name agreement, image agreement (or the degree of agreement between the mental Brodeur, Dionne-Dostie, Montreuil, & Lepage, 2010;and Brodeur, Guérard, & Bouras, 2014;in English and French;Saryazdi, Bannon, Rodrigues, Klammer, & Chambers, 2018;in Turkish;Shao & Stiegert, 2016;in Dutch;Moreno-Martínez & Montoro, 2012;in Spanish;Navarrete, Arcara, Mondini, & Penolazzi, 2019;in Italian). Thus, the need for more ecological stimuli than those provided by line drawings has begun to be highlighted.…”

“…Some studies with adults have examined the effect of picture format in a picture naming task by comparing drawings and photographs of different sets of stimuli (O'Sullivan, Lepage, Bouras, Montreuil, & Brodeur, 2012;Shao & Stiegert, 2016) or using the same set of stimuli (Salmon, Matheson, & McMullen, 2014). In addition, a few studies matched also the shape, PeerJ reviewing PDF | (2019:02:35015:1:1:NEW 17 Jul 2019)…”

“…Other photographic datasets with norms for adults are the set published by Viggiano et al [ 43 ], in English and Italian; the Hatfield Image Test [ 46 ], in English; the C.A.R.E. set [ 47 ] in English; the set of Shao & Stiegert [ 48 ] in Dutch; the set of Saryazdi, Bannon, Rodrigues, Klammer, & Chambers [ 49 ], in Turkish. The ecological version of the Snodgrass and Vanderwart [ 3 ] set [ 42 ] is the only one in Spanish, and has recently been published also in Italian [ 50 ].…”

The use of pictures as experimental stimuli is a frequent practice in psychological and educational research. In addition, picture-naming task allows the study of different cognitive processes such as perception, attention, memory and language. Line drawings have been widely used in research to date but it has begun to be highlighted the need for more ecological stimuli such as photographs. However, normative data of a photographic set has not been published yet for use with children. We present PicPsy, a new standardized bank of photographs and matched line drawing. We collected written picture-naming norms for name agreement, unknown responses, alternative names, familiarity and visual complexity. A total of 118 native Spanish-speaking children in grades 3–4 participated in the study. For comparison purposes, 89 adults were also included in the study. Child and adult performance was highly correlated, but we found significant age group differences in all variables examined except for visual complexity. Researchers and teachers could benefit from using the new standardized bank reported here which is published under public domain license. The data and materials for this research are available at the Open Science Framework, https://osf.io/nyf3t/ .
