Synesthesia involves cross-activation between sensory and cognitive processing areas, resulting in enhanced pattern recognition across domains. Cytowic, R.E., & Eagleman, D.M. (2009). Wednesday Is Indigo Blue. MIT Press. — Scripture: 1 Corinthians 12:10 — discernment as a genuine perceptual and spiritual capacity; Hebrews 5:14 — discernment described as trained perception, the ability to distinguish what others miss. Both framings describe the same functional reality.

Mull on this...

The bouba/kiki effect might be an interesting thing to use for memorizing birdsong patterns.

I recently learned about ticker-tape synesthesia. My sister has it. In addition to "closed captioning for life", many folks with it see the words they read in their heads as they read them (leading to a doubling of the words). It's made me think about the process of reading in a whole new way...

I guess I don't need to use the tool to find out!

Synesthesia--I knew it!

I wonder how many super-networkers have time-space/calendar synesthesia?

Keeping in mind that different people learn in different ways, there's another possible way of looking at this.

Some people learn better aurally than visually. Some remember things better by writing them down. I know a few synaesthetes who likely might learn better by using various highlighting colors. Perhaps those who highlight everything are actually helping their own brains to learn by doing this?

This said, I myself still don't understand people who are highlighting everything in their books this way. I suspect that some are just trying and imitating what they've seen before and just haven't learned to read and annotate actively.

Helping students to discover how they best learn can be a great hurdle to cross, particularly at a young age. Of course, this being said, we also need to help them exercise the other modalities and pathways to help make them more well-rounded and understanding as well.

I can't even look at pictorial depictions that run opposite to mine--gives me a headache. Completely different ones don't bother me though.

So I guess I wasn't really meant to find out until now, because, if I had googled it years ago, I might not have found it.

I never travel along, but I do see the spot and I can point to it regardless of what year it's in.

Mine runs opposite to these!

This is very similar to what I experience!
