Tomato Man movies are designed to elicit linguistic and gestural expressions of manner and path in motion events. You are free to use these stimuli for research purposes. (If you want to use it for any other purposes, please get in touch with one of the Contributors of this OSF project.) Please read the file, "how_to_use_Tomato_Man_movies_v3.pdf", as to how to acknowledge the stimuli in publication. This project also contains a file for the coding manual (see the how-to-use document as to how to acknowledge it) and a file with previous publications based on this stimuli.
Aslı Özyürek (Radboud University Nijmegen & Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics), Sotaro Kita (Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics, now at University of Warwick), and Shanley Allen (Boston University, now at Technische Universität Kaiserslautern) developed these movies. These movies are optimised for investigation of gestures and are designed to be suitable for children. To optimise the stimuli, we conducted intensive piloting with adult and child speakers of Japanese, Turkish and English speakers, and revised and fine-tuned the stimuli a few times, which took us for about a year.
