Abstract
Numerous studies in psychology, cognitive neuroscience and psycholinguistics have used pictures of objects as stimulus
materials. Currently, authors engaged in cross-linguistic work or wishing to run parallel studies at multiple sites where
different languages are spoken must rely on rather small sets of black-and-white or colored line drawings. These sets
are increasingly experienced as being too limited. Therefore, we constructed a new set of 750 colored pictures of
concrete concepts. This set, MultiPic, constitutes a new valuable tool for cognitive scientists investigating language, visual
perception, memory and/or attention in monolingual or multilingual populations. Importantly, the MultiPic databank has
been normed in six different European languages (British English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Italian and German). All stimuli
and norms are freely available at http://www.bcbl.eu/databases/multipic.
