Our present life is unthinkable without the desire to improve memorizing therefore in recent years many papers examine the role of such factors as categoric representation and nameability in this process and their possible positive influence on it. The current study aims to extend the existing knowledge and to determine the relationship between categoric representation and nameability while remembering. Participants were assigned into one of two groups (with or without categoric representation) and offered schematic images painted with high or low-nameable colours. At the next stage they were supposed to identify the images that they had seen among old and new images. In the group without categoric representation high-nameable coloured objects were remembered more accurately than low-nameable while in the group with categoric representation there was no nameability effect. The presents paper may extend our knowledge about nameability and categorization effects and determine the conditions when they occur. Key words: remembering, nameability, nameability effect, high nameable, low nameable, categorization
