“…Secondly, while our ratings showed good reliability across participants for subjective frequency, age of acquisition ratings, familiarity for nouns, and image agreement for verbs, the image agreement ratings for nouns and familiarity ratings for verbs showed poor reliability. We are aware of only two instances where reliability has been reported for norms in the literature (Decuyper et al, 2021;Momenian et al, 2021) and neither provides image agreement ratings (or reliability). While Momenian et al (2021) do provide familiarity ratings, and the reliability of these ratings is higher than ours (ICC .86-.95 depending on participant language background), they do not provide a breakdown of reliability separately across nouns and verbs.…”

“…We considered a two-way mixed model with an average rating selection (see Koo & Li, 2016;Shrout & Fleiss, 1979). The second method used split-half correlations in which we compared the ratings of the 30 participants divided into two groups (Group 1: even-numbered participants and Group 2: odd-numbered participants; for a similar method see Decuyper et al, 2021).…”

There have been many published picture corpora. However, more than half of the world’s population speaks more than one language and, as language and culture are intertwined, some of the items from a picture corpus designed for a given language in a particular culture may not fit another culture (with the same or different language). There is also an awareness that language research can gain from the study of bi-/multilingual individuals who are immersed in multilingual contexts that foster inter-language interactions. Consequently, we developed a relatively large corpus of pictures (663 nouns, 96 verbs) and collected normative data from multilingual speakers of Kannada (a southern Indian language) on two picture-related measures (name agreement, image agreement) and three word-related measures (familiarity, subjective frequency, age of acquisition), and report objective visual complexity and syllable count of the words. Naming labels were classified into words from the target language (i.e., Kannada), cognates (borrowed from/shared with another language), translation equivalents, and elaborations. The picture corpus had > 85% mean concept agreement with multiple acceptable names (1–7 naming labels) for each concept. The mean percentage name agreement for the modal name was > 70%, with H-statistics of 0.89 for nouns and 0.52 for verbs. We also analyse the variability of responses highlighting the influence of bi-/multilingualism on (picture) naming. The picture corpus is freely accessible to researchers and clinicians. It may be used for future standardization with other languages of similar cultural contexts, and relevant items can be used in languages from different cultures, following suitable standardization.

“…First, 387 pictures were normed for name agreement by 15 participants recruited from the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics participant database in an online study. Pictures with , 83% name agreement were replaced with pictures from the BOSS database that were previously normed in Dutch (Decuyper et al, 2021). Familiarity norms for all pictures from the BOSS set were drawn from Brodeur et al (2010Brodeur et al ( , 2014, and the remaining pictures were normed for familiarity by eight native Dutch speakers employed at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics in a second online study.…”

Language is used in communicative contexts to identify and successfully transmit new information that should be later remembered. In three studies, we used question-answer pairs, a naturalistic device for focusing information, to examine how properties of conversations inform later item memory. In Experiment 1, participants viewed three pictures while listening to a recorded question-answer exchange between two people about the locations of two of the displayed pictures. In a memory recognition test conducted online a day later, participants recognized the names of pictures that served as answers more accurately than the names of pictures that appeared as questions. This suggests that this type of focus indeed boosts memory. In Experiment 2, participants listened to the same items embedded in declarative sentences. There was a reduced memory benefit for the second item, confirming the role of linguistic focus on later memory beyond a simple serial-position effect. In Experiment 3, two participants asked and answered the same questions about objects in a dialogue. Here, answers continued to receive a memory benefit, and this focus effect was accentuated by language production such that information-seekers remembered the answers to their questions better than information-givers remembered the questions they had been asked. Combined, these studies show how people's memory for conversation is modulated by the referential status of the items mentioned and by the speaker's roles of the conversation participants.

“…Each picture appeared three times throughout the experiment, amounting to 264 trials in total, over eight blocks. Across the tasks, 52/78 pictures for the context‐driven naming and 72/88 pictures for bare naming had norming scores available (Decuyper et al, 2021). There were no significant differences between pictures in naming agreement as measured by H value (mean bare = 0.62, mean context‐driven = 0.68, t (123) = 0.55, p = 0.6) and in word frequency as measured by log‐transformed frequency per million words (mean bare = 2.7, mean context‐driven = 2.8, t (123) = 0.72, p = 0.5).…”

Time course of right‐hemisphere recruitment during word production following left‐hemisphere damage: A single case of young stroke

Our understanding of post-stroke language function is largely based on older age groups, who show increasing age-related brain pathology and neural reorganisation. To illustrate language outcomes in the young-adult brain, we present the case of A., a 23 y.o. woman with chronic aphasia from a left-hemisphere stroke affecting the temporal lobe. Diffusion MRI-based tractography indicated that A.'s language-relevant white matter structures were severely damaged. Using magnetoencephalography (MEG), we explored A.'s conceptual preparation and word planning abilities. Context-driven and bare picture-naming tasks revealed naming deficits, manifesting as word-finding difficulties and semantic paraphasias about half of the time. Naming was however facilitated by semantically constraining lead-in sentences. Altogether, this pattern indicates relatively spared conceptual preparation but disrupted lexical and phonological retrieval abilities. MEG revealed that A.'s conceptual and naming-related neural responses were supported by the right hemisphere, compared to the typical left-lateralised brain response of a matched control. Differential recruitment of right-hemisphere structures (330-440 ms postpicture onset) was found concurrently during successful naming (right mid-to-posterior temporal lobe) and word-finding attempts (right inferior frontal gyrus). Disconnection of the temporal lobes via corpus callosum was not critical for recruitment of the right hemisphere in visuallyguided naming, possibly due to neural activity right-lateralising from the outset. We consider that, despite A.'s young age, the presumed strong degree of language lateralisation and extensive structural damage limited her recovery. Although A.'s right hemisphere responded in a timely manner during word planning, its lexical and phonological retrieval abilities remained modest.
