Pictorial stimuli standardized for Chinese children are still absent although it is needed in order to test the development of children's cognitive functions. This study presents normative measures for Snodgrass and Vanderwart pictures, viewed by 4- and 6-year old Chinese children. Name agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity were obtained for each age group. The data indicate substantial differences between young and older children in name agreement based on expected name, familiarity and visual complexity. The correlation pattern of the variables collected in the present study were consistent with children's norms in other languages and norms of Chinese adults, while there are cross-age and cross-culture differences in specific variables. The obtained measures represent a useful tool for further research on Chinese children's pictorial processing and constitute the first picture normative study for children in this language.
尽管测试儿童认知功能的发展需要标准化的中国儿童图片刺激，但目前仍然缺乏。本研究给出了4岁和6岁中国儿童观看的斯诺德格拉斯和范德沃特图片的常模数据。获取了每个年龄组的命名一致性、熟悉度和视觉复杂度。数据表明，基于预期名称、熟悉度和视觉复杂度，年幼儿童和年长儿童在命名一致性上存在显著差异。本研究收集的变量的相关模式与其他语言儿童的常模以及中国成年人的常模一致，不过在特定变量上存在跨年龄和跨文化差异。所获得的测量数据是进一步研究中国儿童图片加工的有用工具，并且构成了该语言儿童的首个图片常模研究。
