关注认知功能发展的研究人员需要标准化的材料，可以用于成人和儿童。本文对400幅5、6岁儿童的线描画进行了规范性测量。获得的三个变量名称一致性，熟悉性和视觉复杂性是重要的，因为它们对记忆和其他认知过程的潜在影响。本研究收集的规范性数据表明，幼儿在最常用的名字和提供的替代名字的数量上都不同于成年人。孩子们给出的替代名称要么是坐标名称，要么是视觉上与图片中的物体相似的物体名称。此外，与成年人相比，幼儿的失败率（未命名）更高。因此，我们的结论是，明确的解释与年龄相关的认知功能的差异，只有当年龄适当的图形刺激被选择。(C)北京：科学出版社.
Researchers concerned with the development of cognitive functions are in need of standardized material that can be used with both adults and children. The present article provides normative measures for 400 line drawings viewed by 5- and 6-year-old children. The three variables obtained-name agreement, familiarity, and visual complexity-are important because of their potential effect on memory and other cognitive processes. The normative data collected in the present study indicate that young children are different from adults in both the name most frequently assigned and the number of alternative names provided. The alternative names given by the children are either coordinate names or names of objects that are visually similar to the pictured object. In addition, the failure (to name) rate is higher among young children compared to adults. Thus, we conclude that unequivocal interpretation of age-related differences in cognitive functions can be made only when age-appropriate pictorial stimuli are chosen. (C) 1997 Academic Press.
