Cross-Cultural Name Agreement Norms for 237 Standardized Photographs in Quebec and France

237 standardized color photographs provide name agreement norms for two French-speaking populations. The dataset includes item-level norms such as modal name, modal name agreement, H-value, and lexical frequency measures for Quebec and France French speakers. It was created by Emie Lefebvre and includes the photographic stimuli, supplementary documentation, and R scripts for analysis.

Use Cases

• Designing picture-naming experiments based on standardized stimuli with known name agreement values.
• Developing culturally adapted clinical assessment tools for French speakers based on cross-cultural naming data.
• Analyzing lexical frequency effects in language production based on provided objective and subjective frequency measures.
• Comparing linguistic and cultural influences on object naming based on data from Quebec and France French speakers.

Strengths

• Includes 237 standardized photographic stimuli with clear provenance from the Bank of Standardized Stimuli (BOSS).
• Provides multiple quantitative norms per item, including modal name agreement, H-value, and number of distinct names.
• Offers cross-cultural comparison with data from two distinct French-speaking populations: Quebec and France.

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
