Body-object interaction (BOI) assesses the ease with which a human body can physically interact with a word's referent. Recent research has shown that BOI influences visual word recognition processes in such a way that responses to high-BOI words (e.g., couch) are faster and less error prone than responses to low-BOI words (e.g., cliff). Importantly, the high-BOI words and the low-BOI words that were used in those studies were matched on imageability. In the present study, we collected BOI ratings for a large set of words. BOI ratings, on a 1-7 scale, were obtained for 1,618 monosyllabic nouns. These ratings allowed us to test the generalizability of BOI effects to a large set of items, and they should be useful to researchers who are interested in manipulating or controlling for the effects of BOI.

身体与物体交互（BOI）评估人体与一个词的所指对象进行物理交互的难易程度。最近的研究表明，BOI以这样一种方式影响视觉单词识别过程，即对高BOI词（如“沙发”）的反应比对低BOI词（如“悬崖”）的反应更快且出错更少。重要的是，那些研究中使用的高BOI词和低BOI词在可想象性方面是匹配的。在本研究中，我们收集了大量单词的BOI评级。我们对1618个单音节名词获得了1 - 7级的BOI评级。这些评级使我们能够测试BOI效应在大量项目中的普遍性，并且它们对那些有兴趣操纵或控制BOI效应的研究人员应该是有用的。本研究的身体与物体交互评级可从心理onomic学会的规范、刺激和数据存档网站www.psychonomic.org/archive下载。
