Experiments in Human Memory
Programs and Pictures
Joan Gay Snodgrass & Jin Fan
Since 1980 a set of pictures, designed and standardized
by Professor Joan G. Snodgrass of New York University, has been in use as stimuli
for experiments in human memory. Standardization statistics for these pictures
were originally published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Learning
and Memory, 1980, Vol. 6, No2, 174-215.
These images are available from LSA in film,
print or electronic form or as rights to reproduce the images in your instrument,
screen or test. There is also a suite consisting of a) the pictures themselves,
b) fragmented pictures at eight levels, c) programs for presenting the pictures
and recording and analyzing data obtained from the presentations. These materials
are suitable for memory research and clinical screens, instruction, laboratory
exercises and classroom demonstrations.
- 260 STANDARDIZED PICTURES. This set contains the standardized pictures
and their norms. For IBM they are .tif files which can be shown within popular
word processor programs such as Word, or with an included graphics program.
For Macintosh the pictures are presented in a hypercard stack. For the PC
individual pictures are available at $1.50 ea. with a minimum order of 75
slides, prints or files or for a license to reproduce the images( $1.50 for
each reproduction with a minimum of 75).
- NEW! High Resolution. For IBM, the pictures are offered on a CD in 3
folders each containing the 260 pictures in jpg, tif and pct formats. The
pct pictures are very high resolution – about 7000 x 8000 dpi.
- Email LSA for a sample
of each format.
Cat. # 4210-I (for IBM-Windows) or #4210-M (for Macintosh) $195.00
plus $7.95 S&H.
- INSTRUCTIONAL GUIDE for use of Standardized Pictures for Experiments
in Human Memory. This guide describes in detail the experiments and procedures
used in the contemporary study of human memory, with illustrations of the
use of standardized pictures as stimuli.
Cat. #4211-G $15.00 plus $7.95 S&H.
- EXPERIMENTS IN MEMORY FOR PICTURES AND WORDS. The ten different
kinds of memory experiments covered in the manual above are programmed for
convenient administration by computer. They include both recall and recognition
tests as well as tests of temporal and spatial order and use and include the
260 standardized pictures. A virtual library of paradigms, this set permits
simple and sophisticated experimentation in human memory.
Cat. #4213-I (for IBM-Windows) or #4213-M (for Macintosh), $295.00
plus $7.95 S&H.
- FRAGPIX EXPERIMENTS. This consists of a set of five programs
using fragmented ( at 8 levels) pictures for such memory research as testing
priming in implicit memory. The programs present a study set of 15 fragmented
pictures and then a test set of 30 pictures (half old and half new). The programs
differ in whether the study presentation is of a single level of fragmented
image or the ascending method of limits and whether the response is typing
the picture's name or clicking Yes/No buttons. The software includes five
sets of 30 pictures so that repeated testing can be done. [For a reference,

Cat. #4214-I (for IBM-Windows) or #4214-M (for Macintosh), $295.00
plus $7.95 S&H

- ULTRAFRAG -Program to fragment any set of stimuli. This program
permits an investigator to fragment any set of stimuli or pictures using
the method described in Snodgrass et al. (1987) in which blocks of pixels
are randomly deleted from the image.
Cat. #4215-I (for IBM-Windows) for #4215-M (for Macintosh), $95.00
plus $7.95 S&H.
- Hard copy formats as well as
2"x2" slides are also available. Please inquire. LSA also
publishes software in Experimental Psychology, Perception and Cognitive
Rehabilitation including driving assessment. Let us know if you wish
