Chinese sensorimotor and embodiment norms for 3,000 lexicalized concepts
Researchers have developed a new database of sensorimotor and embodiment norms for 3,000 Mandarin Chinese concepts. This resource, collected from 378 native speakers, provides 11-dimensional sensorimotor ratings and unidimensional embodiment ratings. The data demonstrates high reliability and validity, and was used to show that sensorimotor information aids lexical processing. Furthermore, the study suggests that these sensorimotor ratings can be partially recovered from purely linguistic representations. AI
