Human Factors; Procedure
After I aligned the aircraft with the gate; I noticed the chocks were in position.  I then transferred my attention to the Marshaller providing positive guidance.  Smoothly and slowly approaching the Marshaller's stop signal; I felt a slight bump - after that the Marshaller gave me abrupt opposite direction guidance and then simply the stop guidance; and shook his head.  I spoke to the Gate Agent in the jetbridge who concurred with my description of the event and informed me that he saw the right portion of my nose gear hit the chocks.  FO inspected the nose gear and did not notice any damage; I called Maintenance Control to report a precautionary discrepancy (because I could not enter it myself at the point).  I described to them what happened.
A320 Captain reported that while being marshalled into the gate; the aircraft nose gear hit the chocks.
