Abstract

Introduction

The ability to name pictures has been investigated widely in healthy people and clinical populations. The Object and Action Naming Battery (OANB) is widely used for psycholinguistic research, aphasia research, and clinical practice. Normative databases for pictorial stimuli have been conducted in language processing studies to control for various psycholinguistic variables known to affect the availability of picture names. The present study provides Moroccan Arabic norms for name agreement, familiarity, imageability, visual complexity, and age of acquisition for 100 line drawings of actions and 162 line drawings of objects taken from Druks and Masterson.

Methods and procedures

160 healthy Moroccan Arabic-speaking individuals participated in this study. Name agreement values for the OANB items were collected from forty subjects, followed by collecting data for the psycholinguistic variables: spoken-word frequency, imageability, visual complexity, and age of acquisition from 120 participants.

Results

The Moroccan Arabic OANB (MA-OANB) comprises 70 objects and 60 action pictures. 77% of the nouns and 68% of the verbs obtained 100% target responses. A minimum of 93 percent name agreement was reached for the remaining items. Norms were also collected for the following psycholinguistic variables: spoken-word frequency, imageability, age of acquisition, and visual complexity.

Conclusion

The stimuli can be used for various psycholinguistic investigations and also for assessment and therapeutic purposes in Morocco.

将对象和动作命名电池改编为摩洛哥阿拉伯语：名称一致性、频率、可成像性、视觉复杂性和获取时间的规范

摘要

介绍

命名图片的能力已在健康人和临床人群中得到广泛研究。对象和动作命名电池 (OANB) 广泛用于心理语言学研究、失语症研究和临床实践。图像刺激的规范数据库已在语言处理研究中进行，以控制已知会影响图像名称可用性的各种心理语言学变量。本研究为从 Druks 和 Masterson 拍摄的 100 幅动作线条图和 162 幅物体线条图提供了摩洛哥阿拉伯语的名称一致性、熟悉度、形象性、视觉复杂性和获取年龄的规范。

方法和程序

160 名健康的讲摩洛哥阿拉伯语的人参与了这项研究。OANB 项目的名称一致性值是从 40 名受试者收集的，然后收集心理语言学变量的数据：口语频率、成像能力、视觉复杂性和 120 名参与者的获取年龄。

结果

摩洛哥阿拉伯语 OANB (MA-OANB) 包括 70 个对象和 60 个动作图片。77%的名词和68%的动词获得了100%的目标反应。其余项目至少达成 93% 的名称一致。还收集了以下心理语言学变量的规范：口语频率、成像能力、习得年龄和视觉复杂性。

结论

该刺激可用于各种心理语言学调查，也可用于摩洛哥的评估和治疗目的。
