IAPS Young-Old

The International Affective Picture System (IAPS; Lang, Bradley, & Cuthbert, 2005) is a widely-used set of emotional pictures. The following norms expand the IAPS ratings by providing ratings for young AND older adults for a subset of 504 pictures. The norms contain ratings of valence and arousal as well as memorability data from a recognition experiment.
