Measuring inconsistencies can lead you forward. The case of imageability and concreteness ratings
Frontiers in Psychology, 2014 According to the traditional view, both imageability and concreteness ratings reflect the way word meanings rely on information mediated by the senses. As a consequence, the two measures should and do correlate.
