The results show that so\u2011called visual dominance is driven mainly by movement, while other visual properties such as shape and light or colour behave differently and connect to other senses in distinct ways. For example, movement patterns with sound and internal bodily sensations, shape with touch, and colour with taste and smell. The study also finds meaningful structure within interoception, with pain separating from emotions and bodily feelings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Overall, the findings demonstrate that finer\u2011grained sensory models reveal cross\u2011modal relationships that are hidden in coarser approaches, highlighting the value of expanded perceptual norming for the study of iconicity and meaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-subtle-background-background-color has-background\"><strong>McLaren, B., Do, Y., Thompson, A.L.,<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Husman, J.<\/strong> (2026).
