Synaesthesia is linked to differences in music preference and musical sophistication and a distinctive pattern of sound-color associations
Synaesthesia has often been linked to an artistic or creative temperament, but the nature of this link (and, hence, the possible underpinning mechanisms) are poorly understood. This study focusses primarily on people with synaesthesia who have visual experiences, including color, that are induced by music. We determine how this impacts their musical preferences and musical sophistication using previously validated self-report measures and contras…
How “diagnostic” criteria interact to shape synesthetic behavior
The optimal consistency cutoff score is context-dependent (differs across language). • Self-report alone is sufficient to distinguish synesthetes from non-synesthetes. • Inconsistent self-reported synesthetes behave like synesthetes on two tasks. • Consistency values and synesthesia interact on the Synesthetic Stroop effect. • Consistency values and synesthesia exert independent influences on the Synesthetic Palette. In the past few decades, rese…
Do the colors of your letters depend on your language? Language-dependent and universal influences on grapheme-color synesthesia in seven languages
Grapheme-color synesthetes experience graphemes as having a consistent color (e.g., "N is turquoise"). Synesthetes' specific associations (which letter is which color) are often influenced by linguistic properties such as phonetic similarity, color terms ("Y is yellow"), and semantic associations ("D is for dog and dogs are brown"). However, most studies of synesthesia use only English-speaking synesthetes. Here, we measure the effect of color te…
