Abstract

The research presented in this volume demonstrates that it is no longer reasonable to ask whether or not synesthesia is real--we must now ask how we can account ...

Neonatal synesthesia: A re-evaluation.D. Maurer & C. Mondloch
Developmental constraints on theories of synesthesia.Lawrence E. Marks & Eric C. Odgaard
In this chapter we review our recent experiments targeting the issue of whether visual selective attention can modulate synes-thetic experience. Our research has focused on color-graphemic synesthesia, in which letters, numbers, and words elicit vivid experiences of color. Al-though the specific associations between inducing stimuli and the colors they elicit aretypically idiosyncratic, they remain highly consistent over time for individual synesthetes (Baron-Cohen, Harrison, Goldstein &Wyke, 1993; Baron-Cohen, Wyke &Binnie, 1987). [REVIEW]Can Attention Modulate

For a scientific phenomenon to gain wide acceptance, three dif-ferent criteria must be fulfilled. First, the phenomenon must be real, in the sense of being reliably repeatable. Second, there should be at least some potential candidate explanations, and third, the phenomenon must have broad implications beyond the narrow confines of one specialty. Without all three in place, a phenomenon will be regarded as an anomaly (see Kuhn, 1962) and will not succeed in attracting the attention of the sci-entific ... [REVIEW]  (pages 147)Human Mind

In The World of the Newborn, Charles and Daphne Maurer (1988) proposed that the normal newborn is synesthetic. They argued that “the newborn does not keep sensations separate from one another, but rather “mixessights, sounds, feelings, andsmellsintoasensualbouillabaisse” in which “sights have sounds, feelings have tastes,” and smells can make the baby feel dizzy (p. 51). In later publications, D. Maurer and Mondloch provided additional evidence for this hypothesis (Maurer, 1993; Maurer & Mondloch, 1996 ..  (pages 193)A. Reevaluation
Writing a chapter on the development of synesthesia poses a special difficulty. The difficulty stems largely from the paucity of scientific evidence that speaks directly to the origins and developmental time-course of synesthesia. To be sure, our understanding of basic processes in sensation and perception is substantial and continues to grow, and re-search in recent decades has considerably advanced our understanding of developmental processes in perception. Nevertheless, our understanding of sensory and ... [REVIEW]  (pages 214)Lawrence E. Marks & Eric C. Odgaard
