Recent years have witnessed a growing interest in behavioral and neuroimaging studies on the processing of symbolic communicative gestures, such as pantomimes and emblems, but well-controlled stimuli have been scarce. This study describes a dataset of more than 200 video clips of an actress performing pantomimes (gestures that mimic object-directed/object-use actions; e.g., playing guitar), emblems (conventional gestures; e.g., thumbs up), and meaningless gestures. Gestures were divided into four lists. For each of these four lists, 50 Italian and 50 American raters judged the meaningfulness of the gestures and provided names and descriptions for them. The results of these rating and norming measures are reported separately for the Italian and American raters, offering the first normed set of meaningful and meaningless gestures for experimental studies. The stimuli are available for download via the Figshare database.
近年来，人们对行为和神经影像学研究符号交际手势（如模仿手势和象征手势）的处理越来越感兴趣，但缺乏精心控制的刺激。本研究描述了一个由 200 多个视频剪辑组成的数据集，其中女演员表演模仿手势（模仿指向物体/使用物体的动作的手势；例如，弹吉他）、象征手势（传统手势；例如，竖起大拇指）和无意义的手势。手势被分为四组。对于这四组中的每一组，50 名意大利人和 50 名美国人评估者判断手势的意义，并为其提供名称和描述。这些评分和规范措施的结果分别为意大利和美国评估者报告，为实验研究提供了第一组有意义和无意义的规范手势。这些刺激可通过 Figshare 数据库下载。
