Abstract

We collected imageability and body-object interaction (BOI) ratings for 599 multisyllabic nouns. We then examined the effects of these variables on a subset of these items in picture-naming, word-naming, lexical decision, and semantic categorization. Picture-naming latencies were taken from the International Picture-Naming Project database (Szekely, Jacobsen, D'Amico, Devescovi, Andonova, Herron, et al. Journal of Memory and Language, 51, 247-250, 2004), word-naming and lexical decision latencies were taken from the English Lexicon Project database (Balota, Yap, Cortese, Hutchison, Kessler, Loftis, et al. Behavior Research Methods, 39, 445-459, 2007), and we collected semantic categorization latencies. Results from hierarchical multiple regression analyses showed that imageability and BOI separately accounted for unique latency variability in each task, even with several other predictor variables (e.g., print frequency, number of syllables and morphemes, age of acquisition) entered first in the analyses. These ratings should be useful to researchers interested in manipulating or controlling for the effects of imageability and BOI for multisyllabic stimuli in lexical and semantic tasks.

摘要

我们收集了 599 个多音节名词的可图像性和身体-物体相互作用 (BOI) 评分。然后，我们在图片命名、单词命名、词汇判断和语义分类中检查了这些变量对这些项目子集的影响。图片命名潜伏期取自国际图片命名项目数据库（Szekely、Jacobsen、D'Amico、Devescovi、Andonova、Herron 等人，《记忆与语言杂志》，51，247-250，2004 年），单词命名和词汇判断潜伏期取自英语词汇项目数据库（Balota、Yap、Cortese、Hutchison、Kessler、Loftis 等人，《行为研究方法》，39，445-459，2007 年），我们还收集了语义分类潜伏期。层次多重回归分析的结果表明，可图像性和 BOI 分别解释了每个任务中独特的潜伏期变化，即使在分析中首先输入了其他几个预测变量（例如，印刷频率、音节和词素数量、习得年龄）。对于在词汇和语义任务中对多音节刺激进行可图像性和 BOI 操纵或控制感兴趣的研究人员来说，这些评分应该是有用的。
