“…Autistic tendencies also appear to influence the strength of various cross-modal correspondences (e.g., Chen et al, 2021;Hidaka and Yaguchi, 2018;Oberman and Ramachandran, 2008;Occelli et al, 2013). Individual differences in synaesthetic tendencies (or creativity) and well as musical experience (i.e., a cultural factor) have also been shown to influence the strength of various cross-modal correspondences (e.g., Dailey et al, 1997;Rader and Tellegen, 1987;Walker, 1987; see also Chun and Hupé, 2016;Weinberger et al, 2022).…”

“…Walker's results revealed that the consistency of the choices for four cross-modal correspondences/metaphorical cross-modal mappings (namely, auditory frequency with vertical placement, loudness with visual size, duration with length of horizontal line, and auditory waveform with visual pattern) were determined primarily by the participants' level of musical training, thus suggesting a cultural influence over the crossmodal correspondences that were exhibited (cf. Weinberger et al, 2022).…”

“…Individual differences in second-order reasoning between senses linked to general intelligence factor g (Weinberger et al, 2022; see also Jewanski, 2010) It is interesting to note that the emergence of multiple correspondences in the 6-9-years-old age group in Speed et al's (2021) study seems consistent with a general inflection point in terms of multisensory development that appears to occur at around nine years of age (e.g., Gori et al, 2008;Jüttner et al, 2006;Vaught et al, 1975). For example, according to research from Gori et al, visuohaptic integration becomes optimal at around age 8-10 years; Meanwhile, according to Vaught et al, haptic-visual performance reaches a steady-state around age nine years.…”

There has been a rapid growth of interest amongst researchers in the cross-modal correspondences in recent years. In part, this has resulted from the emerging realization of the important role that the correspondences can sometimes play in multisensory integration. In turn, this has led to an interest in the nature of any differences between individuals, or rather, between groups of individuals, in the strength and/or consensuality of cross-modal correspondences that may be observed in both neurotypically normal groups cross-culturally, developmentally, and across various special populations (including those who have lost a sense, as well as those with autistic tendencies). The hope is that our emerging understanding of such group differences may one day provide grounds for supporting the reality of the various different types of correspondence that have so far been proposed, namely structural, statistical, semantic, and hedonic (or emotionally mediated).

Perceptual Similarity: Insights From Crossmodal Correspondences

Perceptual similarity is one of the most fiercely debated topics in the philosophy and psychology of perception. The documented history of the issue spans all the way from Plato – who regarded similarity as a key factor for human perceptual experience and cognition – through to contemporary psychologists – who have tried to determine whether, and if so, how similarity relationships can be established between stimuli both within and across the senses. Recent research on cross-sensory associations, otherwise known as crossmodal correspondences – that is, the existence of observable consensual associations, or mappings, between stimuli across different senses – represents an especially interesting field in which to study perceptual similarity. In fact, most accounts of crossmodal association that have been put forward in the literature to date evoke perceptual similarity as a key explanatory factor mediating the underlying association. At the same time, however, these various accounts raise several important theoretical questions concerning the very nature of similarity, with, for example, the sensory, affective, or cognitive underpinnings of similarity judgements remaining unclear. We attempt to shed light on these questions by examining the various accounts of crossmodal associations that have been put forward in the literature. Our suggestion is that perceptual similarity varies from being phenomenologically-based to conceptually-based. In particular, we propose that the nature of the associations underlying similarity judgements – whether these associations are phenomenologically-, structurally-, emotionally-, or conceptually-based – may be represented in a two-dimensional space with associative strength on one axis, and cognitive penetrability on the other.
