Abstract
Predictors of Picture Naming and Picture Categorization in Spanish
Highlights
The picture naming task (PNT) is one of the most used paradigms in psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology
Previous studies have assessed the impact of psycholinguistic factors in PNT
picture categorization task (PCT) should appear to be easier than word categorization task since perceptual attributes provide information about the membership of the item to some semantic categories
Summary
The picture naming task (PNT) is one of the most used paradigms in psycholinguistics, cognitive psychology and neuropsychology The aim of this task is to evoke the first name that comes to mind when a picture (e.g. object or action) is showed. Many factors could influence different stages, such as visual recognition, concept access or word retrieval Characterize and quantify these factors in some variables would aid to identify which is the best predictor of accuracy and speed in healthy subjects’ performance (Alario et al, 2004; Barry, Morrison, & Ellis, 1997; Cuetos, Ellis, & Alvarez, 1999; Manoiloff, Artstein, Canavoso, Fernández, & Seguí, 2010). Categorization implies deciding whether an item belongs to certain classification (e.g. a semantic category or a semantic domain) In this task, it is possible to use pictures or words. The best predictors for successful performance in picture naming and picture categorization are discussed
