Imaginary Figures—IF. This test requires subjects to give a reality-based


judgment. For this test we used 20 of the 128 items that make up the Birmingham
Object Recognition Battery. In particular, we chose items from those defined as
“easy” in the original battery, and also took care to select those that seemed most
suitable for and appealing to children. Of the 20 stimuli selected, 10 are drawings
of real objects and 10 are imaginary figures. The latter are fanciful figures, draw-
ings of animals or objects, some of whose traits are replaced with traits belonging
to another animal or object in such a way as to create imaginary figures—for exam-
ple, a camel with a goose’s head. The subject is required to indicate whether or not
the drawing shown represents an animal or object that really exists.

List of stimuli:

1. cow
2. camel–duck
3. kangaroo–snake
4. goat
