Black and White Picture Categorization: differences in the processing of living things and inanimate objects. Oral naming is the most used task assesses in order to identify dissociation in processing of living things (LT) and inanimate objects (IO). The performance of controls on this task is controversial. In general an advantage for the domain OI is detected. Some researchers have postulated that this advantage could be the product of the pre - semantic processes. The structural similarity of LT could explicate theses results. The aim of this study is to detect possible differences in LT and IO processing with a pictorial categorization task. The structural similarity could facilitate the categorization of LT. Nevertheless, the results show an advantage for IO. The results obtained are discussed in terms of the pre - semantic and semantic processes.

Keywords : Categorization; Naming; LivingThings; Inanimate Objects; Structural Similarity.
