And when you mentioned the iPhone thing, I was wondering if how our synesthesia is affected is based on when we were born. For example, you would have grown up more with computer-type things than I did. Very interesting. Thanks for posting!traceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09533860147335133953noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939034.post-40822077459919098092007-12-17T08:26:00.000-06:002007-12-17T08:26:00.000-06:00Tracey, this is really interesting to know.

January is big and at June it starts to curve, August is straight (and bigger than the curved June/July), September it curves again and October-December are straight (and bigger than the September). I can see them physically bigger like the names of the month are: AUGUST (only a huge type), september (only itty bitty type) I'm not in the middle, it's more like a rolodex for me... Only...electronic. Picture the new iPhone and how you can switch from picture to picture...that's what it's like. <BR/>My days of the week are in a straight line that slightly curves at the end, and it's on it's side... I start and end with Sunday... <BR/>I dont do this with weeks.<BR/><BR/>As for assigning gender to numbers, I randomly do that, meaning not all the numbers have genders, but all colors have genders. <BR/><BR/>This is really interesting. I may have to look this up and research it more.Arlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13092772981407032841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939034.post-39813407447998630102007-12-15T20:31:00.000-06:002007-12-15T20:31:00.000-06:00This was a remarkable posting of all of the differ...This was a remarkable posting of all of the different abstract associations such as color or gender that people place on letters or numbers. I don't do this myself, but I can accept that other people might. The brain is an incredibly complex tool, capable of conceptualizing physical things as well as abstract ideas at will. I suppose these associations were formed at a very early age in development to assist with memorizing letters or numbers. These associations might be mnemonic devices retained by the brain years after they served their purpose.Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12189376308772445304noreply@blogger.com
