How synesthesia may lead to enhanced memory. Gosavi, R. S. & Hubbard, E. M. Elsevier Inc., 2019. Publication Title: Multisensory Perception: From Laboratory to Clinic![How synesthesia may lead to enhanced memory [link]](https://bibbase.org/img/filetypes/link.svg "link")
Paper doi abstract bibtex In grapheme-color synesthesia, synesthetes reliably and automatically experience specific colors when viewing black-and-white graphemes. In this chapter, we review the impact of synesthesia on memory. Over 50 years of research has demonstrated that synesthetes have better long-term memory than nonsynesthetes. However, little is known about how synesthesia impacts earlier stages of memory. We explored whether the synesthetic advantage in long-term memory arises from advantages at earlier memory stages by testing the impact of grapheme-color synesthesia on three different stages of memory. We find a consistent synesthetic memory advantage and that this difference is greatest when people are asked to remember larger numbers of items. We argue that these advantages in early memory processing stages may be important for understanding the mechanistic underpinnings of long-term memory enhancement in synesthesia. Finally, we frame these findings in a novel recoding theory of synesthetic memory, which extends the classic dual-coding theory of memory.
