Personality profile of child synaesthetes (2020)
Journal Article
Rinaldi, L., Smees, R., Carmichael, D., & Simner, J. (2020). Personality profile of child synaesthetes. Frontiers in Bioscience, 12, 162-182

Previous research into personality and synaesthesia has focused on adult populations and yielded mixed results. One particular challenge has been to distinguish traits associated with synaesthesia, from traits associated with the ways in which synaes...

Numeracy skills in child synaesthetes: Evidence from grapheme-colour synaesthesia (2020)
Journal Article
Rinaldi, L. J., Smees, R., Carmichael, D. A., & Simner, J. (2020). Numeracy skills in child synaesthetes: Evidence from grapheme-colour synaesthesia. Cortex, 126, 141-152. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.cortex.2020.01.007

Grapheme-colour synaesthesia is a neurological trait that causes lifelong colour associations for letter and numbers. Synaesthesia studies have demonstrated differences between synaesthetes and non-synaesthetes in ways that extend beyond synaesthesia...
