Druks and Masterson [Druks J, Masterson J. An object and action naming battery with pairwise matching on various psycholinguistic characteristics. (Submitted).] produced a set of 164 object and 102 action pictures which are matched on a range of variables known to affect the availability of picture names. In the present paper we describe the development of the set of pictures and provide the verbal labels for the pictures together with their printed word frequency values and ratings for age-of-acquisition, familiarity and imageability; we also present semantic categories for the verbal labels. Finally, we give visual complexity ratings for the pictures. The materials can be used for a range of psycholinguistic experiments and also for assessment and remediation with clinical populations.
