N2 - Sensorimotor norms have been developed in different languages for research on the relationship between perceptual and conceptual systems. This paper sets up the first sensorimotor norms for 192 Chinese classifiers. For each word, we report values for the following 11 dimensions: vision, hearing, taste, smell, touch, interoception and foot/leg, hand/arm, head excluding mouth, mouth/throat, and torso. The results indicate that the cognitive encoding implicit in Chinese classifiers is largely related to external visual feature and internal feeling. These norms will aid in further exploring the semantic relationship between classifiers and nouns and contribute to studying the influence of perceptual information on word processing and grounded cognition.
