The importance of perceptual experience for the representation and processing of words was
documented in numerous researches. Several operationalizations of perceptual richness were
proposed. Here we aim to explore the contribution of perceptual intensity to word recognition
over and above perceptual diversity (or the number of sensory modalities). Additionally,
knowing that words saturated with auditory experience (“knocking”) are recognized more
slowly in visual lexical decision task (VLD), we wanted to test whether the effect of
perceptual intensity was modulated by the presence of auditory sensory modality. Based on
embodied cognition accounts, we predicted that words with higher perceptual intensity would
take less time to process regardless of the presence of auditory modality.
In experiment 1 (E1) 33 participants were presented with 136 words denoting concepts
experienced through one sensory modality, which were divided into two groups: low and
high perceptual intensi...ty words. The perceptual intensity was operationalized as the vector
length of the five-element vector containing per-modality perceptual strengths. The two
groups of stimuli were matched for word length, frequency, familiarity, emotional valence,
arousal, context availability, age of acquisition, concreteness and imageability. In E2, the
intensity of the perceptual experience was manipulated as a continuous predictor. Here, 40
participants were presented with 134 words experienced with two modalities, which were
split according to the presence of auditory modality (e.g. tactile and visual “sponge” vs visual
and auditory “applause”). The two groups were matched for the same control variables used
in E1, but also for the intensity of the perceptual experience.
We did not observe a significant difference in processing time between the words of high and
low perceptual intensity in E1. After controlling for various lexical and semantical variables,
in addition to matching words for the number of sensory modalities, the perceptual intensity
did not affect reaction times. Similarly, in E2, the increase in perceptual intensity was not
followed by a significant change in RT, regardless of the presence of the auditory modality.
However, we observed that words with auditory modality elicited longer processing latencies:
t (112.62) = 2.003, p<0.05.
The inhibitory effect of auditory modality is in accordance with the previous studies.
However, the absence of the effect of perceptual intensity calls for further investigations.
