Abstract
In this paper, the goal is to explain the reason why studies on psycholinguistic norms
are useful to achieve a better understanding of the mechanisms underpinning access to
the mental lexicon. We will focus on lexical access in the verbal production of words
and on psycholinguistic norms that have been collected from pictures corresponding
to drawings or to photographs of objects. After a brief description of norms that are
available in the literature for this kind of stimuli, we will describe the main measures
that are collected either from pictures of drawings or from photographs of objects (e.g.,
name agreement, image agreement, visual complexity), or from their names (e.g., age of
acquisition, imageability, conceptual familiarity). We will then show how the collected
norms are useful at both theoretical and empirical levels to researchers who investigate
lexical processing in adults (in naming or in reading). We will then go on presenting
two issues about the norms: the reliability and validity issues. The validity issue will be
examined in the light of age of acquisition. Finally, we will sketch several avenues for
future studies on psycholinguistic norms.
