We observed a strong relationship between relative embodiment ratings and imageability ratings and, as mentioned, this is likely because there is imagery associated with many of the high-embodiment verbs. Certainly, imageability and relative embodiment could both be considered modal dimensions. Importantly, however, the relative embodiment ratings seem to capture something incremental to imagery (as there were significant effects of relative embodiment but not imageability in Experiments 1 and 2), and we propose it is knowledge gained through sensorimotor and proprioceptive experience afforded by having a human body, as Borghi and Cimatti (2010) have described.
