Variables

Variables:

  • term. unique word (lemma)

  • auditory.mean. mean rating (0--5) of how strongly word is experienced by hearing

  • gustatoy.mean. mean rating (0--5) of how strongly word is experienced by tasting

  • haptic.mean. mean rating (0--5) of how strongly word is experienced by feeling through touch

  • interoceptive.mean. mean rating (0--5) of how strongly wordis experienced by sensations inside the body
