Acquiring synaesthesia: insights from training studies
Synaesthesia denotes a condition of remarkable individual differences in experience characterized by specific additional experiences in response to normal sensory input. Synaesthesia seems to (i) run in families which suggests a genetic component, (ii) is associated with marked structural and functional neural differences, and (iii) is usually reported to exist from early childhood. Hence, syna...
متن کاملEnhanced memory ability: Insights from synaesthesia.
People with synaesthesia show an enhanced memory relative to demographically matched controls. The most obvious explanation for this is that the 'extra' perceptual experiences lead to richer encoding and retrieval opportunities of stimuli which induce synaesthesia (typically verbal stimuli). Although there is some evidence for this, it is unlikely to be the whole explanation. For instance, not ...
متن کاملAdaptation of endothelium to exercise training: insights from experimental studies.
Endothelial dysfunction is one of the hallmarks of cardiovascular disease and serves as a prognostic marker for forecasting the development and outcome of the disease process. Current pharmacological treatment strategies only incompletely repair endothelial dysfunction whereas exercise training corrects this dysfunction, primarily due to improved production and/or bioavailability of nitric oxid...
متن کاملInsights from Small-N Studies
16:fe4, 1 Small-N studies 1 have been relatively uncommon in biology education research and are likely less familiar to instructors and administrators than large-N studies. Nevertheless, many scholars in the social sciences have argued for the value of small-N studies in informing research and practice (e.g., Flyvbjerg, 2006). As in medical research, small-N case studies allow for deep examinat...
متن کاملTraining, hypnosis, and drugs: artificial synaesthesia, or artificial paradises?
The last few years have seen the publication of a number of studies by researchers claiming to have induced "synaesthesia," "pseudo-synaesthesia," or "synaesthesia-like" phenomena in non-synaesthetic participants. Although the intention of these studies has been to try and shed light on the way in which synaesthesia might have been acquired in developmental synaesthestes, we argue that they may...
