Abstract

A three-phased study was conducted in order to develop a standardized list of touch-related adjec-tives. The final list consisted of 306 words that were categorized in 440 instances according to the Le-derman and Klatzky (1987, 1990)dimensions of haptic properties (some words were classified in more than one dimension). The Kucera and Francis (1967)frequency of occurrence in written English for all words in the final list was also determined. A correlation was found between frequency of occurrence on the list and Kucera and Francis frequency. An analysis of the word dimensions and future applica-tions are discussed.
