NAMING TIMES FOR THE SNODGRASS AND VANDERWART PICTURES

This paper reports the results of two experiments. In the first, voice -key naming times were collected and in the second, keypress naming ti mes were collected for 250 of the Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980) pict ures. The resulting naming times and correct naming rates were well pr edicted in multiple regression analyses by one or another measure of c odability (name or concept agreement) and by age-of-acquisition rating s collected specifically for this study, Voice-key responses appeared to be somewhat more sensitive indicators of naming difficulty, althoug h keypress responses did remarkably well. The Appendix presents the ag e-of-acquisition ratings, the trimmed vocal and keypress naming times, and the correct naming rates from the two experiments for the 250 pic tures.
