Directions-  How do YOUR senses interact?

# data[].attributes.body
Now it is time for you to share how your senses interact!

The following pages provide space for you to answer the two questions posed.

1. Provide an example in your life where two or more of your senses have worked together to set the scene for you.

2. Do you think you have any Synesthete tendencies? If so, what are they? If not, which Synesthete tendency do you find most fascinating?

Each student will have their own post  to enter their responses. Please feel free to use the links given on the next page to help in your research. .

Afterwards, you may look at what other classmates said and respond/comment on TWO posts! Did you find any similarities? Did they make a point about sensory interaction that you did not consider? Did they find a neat synesthete tendency that you had not come across?

One example of when senses interact in your daily life is the connection between taste and sight. Particularly with drinks, the vibrancy of a drink dictates how strong of a flavor we believe is present. For example, if I were given two cups of hot chocolate, one being a watery brown, and the other one being a dark, rich brown, I would be more likely to think that the darker sample tastes stronger, even if the two taste exactly the same in reality. The extreme color saturation increases perceived flavor intensity in taste.

The only Synesthete tendency I partially demonstrate is personification. This type is called ordinal-linguistic personification, or OLP for short. I do not engage in this personification naturally (at least not casually/consistently), but if I were given the task to personify a certain inanimate object or quality, I could come to a definitive conclusion somewhat quickly. I mean this in the sense that it would not take much deliberation or debate, and I would be somewhat stubborn and definitie in my personification route. Additionally, although I do not practice this personification all of the time, there are a few letters and numbers that I have always associated a quality with. For example, I have always thought that the number 8 was gentle and nice, which is part of the reason why it is my favorite single digit number.

when I go to eat an orange and it feels squishy, i associate that with tasting bitter and not sweet, and when i grab another orange and its hard, I associate it wit being sweet and juicy.

An example in my life when two of my senses worked together would be sight and smell. When you enter a candle shop and you already know the smell of a specific fragrance and you see the fragrance you automatically smell it in your head

A tendency I have that I strongly stand by is that math is red, english is blue, science is green, and history is orange. Another tendency I have is accosiating wednesday as 5 x 5 and thursday as 7 x 7.

I can connect sight with taste, specifically with looking at things such as a cook book or magazine. For example, we used to get magazines for cookie orders and it would use many pictures of the variety of cookies that were sold. I would be able to decide which cookies I wanted to buy because I could imagine what the cookies would taste like based on the pictures.

Many times I'd find that when I hear words or sounds I associate it with a certain taste without much thought. it's not constant however it is relatively frequent. Like how say.... "Certain" would have a more blackberry taste but is somewhat bitter. It doesn't happen when I read but more so when I process or am learning words so I see the words in isolation.

One example of when two of my sense have worked together to set the scene is when I read. When I read I can see what's happening like its a movie, and I can hear what the author is saying when there a dialogue I can picture what each character would sound like.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I dont think I have synesthete tendencies.  I find the ability to associate letters with tastes the most interesting because it would not come to me naturally at all.

One example in my life where two of my senses have worked together to set a scene involves my sight and taste, as well as partly touch. I have a coffee mug that changes color according to the heat of my drink. Whenever my mug loses its image on the outside I choose not to drink the rest of my coffee because I know it will taste bad due to cooling off. I also know that the mug will feel cool.

When I've gone on hikes before and if I see a plant, animal, etc. that looks like it would make a good picture I have to use my sight to find the creature or plant and then look through a camera to identify the best angle to take the picture. Then I have to use my sense of touch and/or hearing to identify if the wind is blowing whether by listening to if it's coming or if I feel it and then take the picture.

An example in my life where two senses worked together is when i pick u flowers. I can already smell what certain flowers will smell like by looking at them. Combined with when i walk into the shop i know what itl´l smell in there just because ive been there so many times and know what flowers they have on display.

When I went to Wells over the summer, I went to an empty parking lot that had easy access to water. On my walk down to the water, instead of sand, there were smooth rocks. As I was stepping on the rocks to reach the water, I remember the sound of the rocks rubbing against each other as I felt them moving beneath my feet. This meant that my sense of touch and my sense of hearing were working together.

I think one example that happens in my life is that for me, soda or other drinks taste better out of a can than from a plastic bottle. I think it's because when it's nice and cold, I can feel the cold through the metal. So the drinks taste better.

An example in my life when two of my senses worked together would be touch and sight. When I am clothes shopping and see a material that I thing is soft I am more likely to grab it and try it on. This could also happen with the color of the clothes. If the clothing is a color that I like such as navy I am more likely to grab it rather than I color I dislike such as orange.

When an old chevelle drives past my smell and taste work together, the fumes of gas and the motor

No i dont think i have Synesthete tendencies. The most fascnating tendency i think would be that people taste a certain way based on their name alone.

When seeing a picture of a sunset I am able to feel the cold air during the scene even though I am not usually there. It makes  scene that I am familiar more relatable to the picture and to really feel the sunset night.

I don't think I have any synesthete tendencies. But I could relate in class to different school subjects being associated with certain colors. I think the most interesting one i being able to see letter and words in colors. Its crazy that our brains can do this.

# data[].attributes.body
I wouldn't say I'm a synesthete, but I would definitely say I make a lot of associations. For example, I associate colors with letters, however when I see letters I don't automatically say something like "Oh that's blue". Like a lot of people, I relate colors to the subjects of school. Also, this is a very weird one, but 8, Thursday, November, and grape are all the same thing. These are obviously just a few examples, but I definitely make relations

An example where my senses have worked together is when someone is telling or I'm reading I imagine what is going on and visualize it , that are using my senses that are hearing and sight

# data[].attributes.body
I think most people associate certain things with senses as a natural way to comprehend things. When I look back, I find myself using my senses in a synesthetic way often such as when I read something or see a picture of something. It is defintiley not as often or severe as someone who has the condition, but I feel it is something people do often

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't think I have any synesthete tendencies but one that I do find very interesting is that some people can see music when it is playing and that people can see a letter as a color.

# data[].attributes.body
One example of when my two senses work together would be smell and taste. Before I taste any type of food I smell it. I could dislike a food just by a certain smell.

Something similar to Auditory-tactile synesthesia. A lot of music causes plenty of effects. many of which are warmth in my neck, tingling in my hand(particularly the outer two fingers and thumb), a sensation in my spine, or suddenly going cold.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not engage in this naturally but I have a few numbers, letters, objects, and people that I make associations with. For example I associate certain friends with colors and plants. For example Ayva is dark green and pine trees, Molly is hot pink and Ellie is light blue. I also connect the letter p with school desks and the word apple as being white.

# data[].attributes.body
I do not have any specific synesthete tendencies, but I find that the Sound-to-Color Synesthesia the most interesting because colors don't "give off sound" on their own. I think it is interesting that people are able to make this association and I wonder if it is due to personal experiences or not.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I don't think I have any synesthete tendencies but I d associate some letter withs numbers like D is 4 and E is 5 but I also associate 8 being thursday

# data[].attributes.body
An example in my life of this is one that we touched on a little bit earlier in class. I often make connections between sight and touch. If I see something, I can tell how it's going to feel.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I have any synesthete tendencies. Most fascinating tendency is when people can see letters in colors.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I have any Synesthete tendencies, but the tendency that I find the most fascinating is within Number Form Synesthesia. In this form, the synesthete can see a mental map of any group of numbers that they think about. I think this is interesting because I am curious about what the average limit is for putting numbers into their mental map.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think I had any synesthete tendencies, however, I do think the tendency of associating a word, phrase, etc. with a taste is really fascinating. However, I do not think it is something I would like because then after hearing a certain word I may then crave that taste and may not be able to get it which would be unfourtante. But I think it is cool to have your brain work in a way to have associations that distinct.

An example of when my senses work together is when I see an ice cream truck I am able to see the pictures of ice cream on the side and I can imagine how each of them taste.

# data[].attributes.body
No, I do not have synesthete tendencies. I find it fascinating when people who have a certain synesthete are able to be given a name and can describe what it tastes like.
