Which of the following is NOT an example of Synaesthesia:

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks which option is NOT an example of synaesthesia. To evaluate each choice, consider whether it describes a cross-modal or cross-sensory perception where a stimulus in one domain automatically evokes a sensation in another.
Option 1: 'Associating the colour pink with being relaxed' describes linking a color to an emotional state. This kind of color–emotion association is commonly reported in synaesthetic experiences, and thus can be considered a form of synaesthesia.
Option 2: 'Associating letters and numbers with particular colours' corresponds to grapheme-color synaesthesia, a well-documented and classic subtype where individuals consistently perceive specific colors for letters or digits. This is a textbook example of synaesthesia.
Option 3: 'Associating letters and numbers with particular genders' involves mapping linguistic symbols (letters/numbers) to gender attributes. This is not a standard synaesthetic pairing, as synaesthesia typically involves perceptual or sensory crossovers (colors, tastes, sounds, shapes) rather than social or categorical attributes like gender. This makes it the misfit among the listed options.
Option 4: 'Associating letters and numbers with particular tastes' describes grapheme-taste synaesthesia, another documented cross-modal phenomenon where graphemes evoke distinct tastes. This fits the pattern of synaesthetic experiences.
In summary, options 1, 2, and 4 align with recognized synaesthetic forms, while option 3 does not align with the typical cross-sensory mappings seen in synaesthesia.
