通感传统上被描述为一种混合感觉的现象。这意味着，诱导者和共生者都在他们的感觉表征水平上运作。例如，在字素-颜色通感的情况下，一种类型的感觉表征，即字素的感觉表征，会诱导另一种类型的感觉表征，即颜色。这种“感官-感官”的通感观点有着悠久的传统，因为它也被嵌入到这种现象的名称中：“SYN”+“Aissis”(在希腊语中：感觉的统一)。然而，越来越多的证据表明，我们应该打破这一传统，对这一现象采取不同的看法。在这一观点中，只有同时性在表征的感官层面上运作。相反，诱导者从表征的语义层面做出贡献--这是一个提取和表征刺激意义的加工阶段。因此，通感可以被理解为一种不同寻常的“语义”联想，除了连接不同的概念外，通感还将概念与感觉激活联系起来。因此，这种现象的更准确的名称是理想主义，由“观念”+“感官”(希腊语：感觉概念)创造而来。
Synaesthesia is traditionally described as a phenomenon of intermixed senses. This implies that both, the inducer and concurrent operate at the level of their sensory representations. For example, in the case of grapheme-colour synaesthesia, the sensory representation of one type, that of a grapheme, would induce a sensory representation of another type, a colour. This “sensory-sensory” view of synaesthesia has a long tradition as it is embedded also into the very name of the phenomenon: “syn”+”aisthesis” (in Greek: unity of senses). However, evidence has accumulated suggesting that we should break out with this tradition and adopt a different view of the phenomenon. In this view, only the concurrent operates at the sensory level of representation. The inducer, in contrast, contributes from the semantic level of representations—a processing stage at which the meaning of the stimulus is extracted and represented. Therefore, synaesthesia can be understood as an unusual type of a “semantic” association whereby, in addition to wiring up different concepts, synaesthesia wires concepts to sensory activations. Thus, a more accurate name of the phenomenon is ideaesthesia, coined from “idea”+”aisthesis” (in Greek: sensing concepts).
