In Nishimoto et al. (submitted), we standardized 359 line drawings of common objects for the
Japanese, part of which were taken from Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980). In the present study,
we introduced new picture set that consists of 360 pictures, 83 of which had been redrawn because
of low name agreement. We compared these redrawn picture with the old ones in name agreement,
as well as the other indices. It was indicated that the new picture set had been useful for cognitive
studies.
1098.13 A Japanese standardized set of line drawings (1): Norms for naming time, name
agreement, and age of acquisition, Takehiko Nishimoto, Takashi Ueda, Yuko Une, Kaori
Miyawaki, Masaru Takahashi, Waseda University, Japan
In Nishimoto et al. (submitted), we standardized 359 line drawings of common objects for the
Japanese, part of which were taken from Snodgrass and Vanderwart (1980). In the present study
we redrew 83 pictures that had shown low name agreement in Nishimoto et al. (submitted), and
provided normative measures for 360 pictures including these revised pictures: voice-key naming
times, name agreement, and age of acquisition.
1098.14 Image representation by Chernoff faces, Takuya Ohmori, Kazuo Shigemasu, The
University of Tokyo Komaba, Japan
We propose a new representation method of images by Chernoff faces. Although Semantic
Differential (SD) techniques and factor analyses are often used in measurement and analysis of
images, it is difficult to understand the result of measurement from the factor loadings. In this
study, some objects and some Chernoff faces are measured by SD technique respectively, and the
images of objects are represented with Chernoff faces by matching each factors using neural
networks.
1098.15 The influence of degree of distinctiveness on face recognition, Naoshi Hiraoka, Sakiko
Yoshikawa, Kyoto University, Japan
Using caricature paradigms, this study examined the influence that degree of distinctiveness has
on face recognition. As targets, we used photographs of faces whose distinctiveness had been
manipulated to 3 varying degrees (-20%, 0%, +20%) using morphing software. We asked the
participants to memorize a target and then choose the photograph that they regarded as correct
from a group of photographs (including the target face and other transformed faces). In
recognizing faces, regardless of the distinctiveness of the target, the participants tended to select
the veridical faces. The results suggest that participants selected the veridical faces although they
memorized distorted faces.
1098.16 Stroop-like interference of magnitude in physical size judgment of numbers, Ting Jiang,
Qi Dong, Hongchuan Zhang, Xinlin Zhou, Hui Zhao, Beijing Normal University, Beijing,
China
Numerical distance effect was repeatedly found in stroop-like numerical comparison task.
However, numerical distance effect was absent in stroop-like physical size comparison task while
numerical information interfered with physical information. The present study found that
