A number of new psycholinguistic variables has been proposed during the last years within embodied cognition framework: modality experience rating (i.e., relationship between words and images of a particular perceptive modality-visual, auditory, haptic etc.), manipulability (the necessity for an object to interact with human hands in order to perform its function), vertical spatial localization. However, it is not clear how these new variables are related to each other and to such traditional variables as imageability, AoA and word frequency. In this article, normative data on the modality (visual, auditory, haptic, olfactory, and gustatory) ratings, vertical spatial localization of the object, manipulability, imageability, age of acquisition, and subjective frequency for 506 Russian nouns are presented. Strongest correlations were observed between olfactory and gustatory modalities (.81), visual modality and imageability (.78), haptic modality and manipulability (.7). Other modalities also significantly correlate with imageability: olfactory (.35), gustatory (.24), and haptic (.67). Factor analysis divided variables into four groups where visual and haptic modality ratings were combined with imageability, manipulability and AoA (the first factor); word length, frequency and AoA formed the second factor; olfactory modality was united with gustatory (the third factor); spatial localization only is included in the fourth factor. Present norms of imageability and AoA are consistent with previous as correlation analysis has revealed. The complete database can be downloaded from supplementary material.
在过去几年里，在具身认知框架下提出了一些新的心理语言学变量：模态体验评级（即特定感知模态——视觉、听觉、触觉等——的单词与图像之间的关系）、可操作性（物体为执行其功能而与人类手部进行交互的必要性）、垂直空间定位。然而，目前尚不清楚这些新变量之间以及它们与诸如意象性、习得年龄和词频等传统变量之间是如何关联的。本文给出了506个俄语名词在模态（视觉、听觉、触觉、嗅觉和味觉）评级、物体的垂直空间定位、可操作性、意象性、习得年龄和主观频率方面的规范数据。嗅觉和味觉模态之间的相关性最强（0.81），视觉模态与意象性之间的相关性为（0.78），触觉模态与可操作性之间的相关性为（0.7）。其他模态与意象性也存在显著相关性：嗅觉（0.35）、味觉（0.24）和触觉（0.67）。因子分析将变量分为四组，其中视觉和触觉模态评级与意象性、可操作性和习得年龄相结合（第一个因子）；单词长度、频率和习得年龄构成第二个因子；嗅觉模态与味觉相结合（第三个因子）；只有空间定位包含在第四个因子中。正如相关性分析所揭示的，目前的意象性和习得年龄规范与之前的研究一致。完整的数据库可从补充材料中下载。
