The study was designed to determine whether the failure of previous studies to find a difference between the performance of children and adults in picture-recognition tasks might be due to the number, the selective content and the organization of the pictures used in certain studies of children. The results indicated that irrespective of age, subjects do much better on pictures that possess good figure-ground quality and further that when factors such as number, content and organization are controlled, there are effects due to age.

Heterogeneous Class

This study shows that, when homogeneous classes of pictures are used in a picture-recognition task, developmental trends do emerge whereas when a heterogeneous class of pictures is used such developmental trends are not found. These results are consistent with the view that as children get older (3–4 yr., 6–7 yr., 9–10 yr., adolescents, adults) they get better at organizing material that is more difficult to differentiate or remember.

Abstract. According to the perceptual symbols theory ( Barsalou, 1999 ), sensorimotor simulations underlie the representation of concepts. We investigated whether recognition memory for pictures of concepts was facilitated by earlier representation of visual properties of those concepts. During study, concept names (e.g., apple) were presented in a property verification task with a visual property (e.g., shiny) or with a nonvisual property (e.g., tart). Delayed picture recognition memory was better if the concept name had been presented with a visual property than if it had been presented with a nonvisual property. These results indicate that modality-specific simulations are used for concept representation.

Categorization Model

When distracting pictures are randomly selected from the same pool of pictures as the target pictures, performance with large numbers of pictures (1,000) is much poorer than has previously been reported. Further, performance drops quite substantially after 1 wk., a finding that differs from the conclusion that picture memory is relatively stable over time. Under conditions where the distractors were selected to reduce similarity between targets and distracting pictures, performance approximated levels previously reported in the literature. The results of the experiments seem to demand some type of categorization model of picture-recognition memory.
