Perceptual Strength and Modality Exclusivity Norms for 5,500 Spanish Words

This normative dataset provides perceptual strength ratings for 5,500 Spanish words across five sensory modalities: touch, hearing, sight, smell, and taste. The word set was originally compiled from Spanish lexical databases and used in Díez-Álamo et al. (2019), ensuring broad coverage of psycholinguistic indices. A total of 671 participants rated approximately 200 words each, indicating the extent to which each sensory modality is involved when experiencing the concept (or property, in the case of adjectives), using a scale from 0 (not at all) to 5 (greatly). The procedure follows the methodology established by Lynott and Connell (2009, 2013). The dataset includes raw participant-level data, with fields for participant ID, task number, age, gender, word familiarity, and modality-specific ratings. This resource is valuable for research on conceptual representation, semantic processing, and multimodal lexical analysis in Spanish.
