Functional activities pictures: name agreement and familiarity

This study was done with the aim to examine the naming agreement and familiarity of a set of objects/animals and functional activities pictures. Twenty six children were used between 5-7 years old and 24 university students between 18-25 years old of both sexes. Participants should watch 90 pictures, being 45 of functional activities and 45 of objects/animals, nominate one by one, moreover, to refer the familiarity degree. Data were analyzed by coefficient of Kappa, Spearman correlation test and Mann-Whitney test. The original name agreement was bigger than the frequency of other nominations. The children had more difficult than adults to make the pictures nomination. The objects/animals pictures were considered more familiar, as well children as adults. This way, the study showed significant differences between the pictures and between children and adults, suggesting the use of functional activities pictures in neuropsychological studies.
