Picture Naming by Young Children: Norms for Name Agreement, Familiarity, and Visual Complexity.

Cycowicz, Yael M.; And Others

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v65 n2 p171-237 May 1997

Young children and adults looked at 400 pictures of common objects and were asked to name the object, indicate their familiarity with the object, and state how complex the object would be to draw. Normative data indicated that children and adults differed in the most frequent name assigned and the number of alternative names used. (BC)
