<div dir="ltr">Jessica Horst's Novel Object, Unusual Name database might be useful - below is a message she sent to to the Cognitive Development Society listserv a little while ago.<div><br></div><div>----<br><div><br>

<br></div><div style="font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14px">Recently, there has been an increase in interest in my <span>Novel</span> Object, Unusual Name (NOUN) Database, so I am sending a new link to the database on our new server: <a href="http://www.sussex.ac.uk/wordlab/noun" target="_blank">http://www.sussex.ac.uk/wordlab/noun</a> (the link to the file as toward the bottom). I hope you will find this resource helpful. </div>
<div style="font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14px">To remind you (or let you know if you have joined CDS since the last time I emailed about this): <span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif"> The NOUN Database is a collection of color photographs of <span>novel</span> objects and a list of commonly (?) used <span>novel</span> names in the literature. </span><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman',serif">I am interested in sharing these materials. If you need pictures of <span>novel</span> objects, please feel free to browse this database and I will be happy to send you the electronic files for these pictures. Each picture is of a real 3D object.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14px"><br></div><div style="font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:14px">I hope to revise the database in 2013 (by including many more photos and adding more names). If you have suggestions for things you would like to see or other recommendations, please email me (no need to reply-all). I'm thinking about including some pictures of familiar/known objects as well. These would also be pictures of real 3D toys (e.g., stuffed dog, matchbox car, doll chair, etc; would this be helpful?). Once the database has been revised I'll share version 2.0 with everyone. Meanwhile, if you require more pictures than what is currently included or have an idea of something you need (e.g., a red <span>novel</span> object) please feel free to contact me and if I already have that item waiting for the next version I will be happy to also share that with you.</div>

<br>
We're developing a new task and we need lots of pictures of novel<br>
objects/thingies (probably around 100). That is, reasonably<br>
non-nameable thingies. Any and all suggestions would be appreciated.<br>
<br>
Best,<br>
