Abstract

We present a set of 150 pictures with morphologically complex English compound names. The pictures were collected from various sources and were standardized to appear as grayscale line drawings of a fixed size. All the compounds had two constituents and were primarily of the noun-noun type. Following previous studies, we collected name agreement (percentage and H), familiarity, image agreement, and visual complexity norms, as well as frequency estimates for the whole compound word and its first and second constituents. These pictures and their corresponding norms (available from the Psychonomic Society's supplemental archive) are a valuable tool in the study of the morphological representation of complex words in language processing.

Instructions

{"name agreement": "Prior to the experiment, participants were told that they would see an object on the computer screen and that they should say aloud the first thing that provided an accurate description of the object. They were instructed to do this as quickly as possible.", "familiarity": "Participants in the familiarity task were told that they would see a picture presented on the computer screen and that they would have to rate \u201chow usual or unusual the object is in your realm of experience.\u201d", "image agreement": "In the image agreement block, participants were told thattheywouldhavetojudge how closely a given picture resembled their mental image of the object.", "visual complexity": null}
