We designed a new stimulus set with 269 line drawings of everyday artifacts and animals. The stimulus set contains several typical exemplars from a sample of 25 basic-level categories. We determined to what extent these stimuli were named at the basic level and at a more subordinate level. An additional experiment showed the validity of this calibration: typicality ratings were correlated significantly with the level of naming. In a final experiment we found that this effect depends largely on the global configuration of a stimulus as it was still apparent with degraded images obtained by locally shifting small fragments of the drawings.
我们设计了一个新的刺激集，其中包含269幅日常用品和动物的线条画。该刺激集包含来自25个基本层次类别的样本中的几个典型示例。我们确定了这些刺激在基本层次和更从属层次上被命名的程度。另一个实验表明了这种校准的有效性：典型性评分与命名水平显著相关。在最后一个实验中，我们发现这种效应在很大程度上取决于刺激的整体构型，因为在通过局部移动图画的小片段获得的退化图像中这种效应仍然很明显。
