证据报告早些时候从一个单一的情况下，色彩词汇（CL）联觉是一个真正的现象。一项研究中，9名受试者进行了测试，谁也报告有有色听力。讨论了以下问题：（a）这些案件是否属实（即随着时间的推移而一致），（B）他们是真正的词汇，还是这种情况的变体，如色彩-字形（CG）或色彩-音素（CP）联觉，（c）实验对象之间是否显示出任何共同点，以及（d）他们是否能够在标准问卷中提供关于该病症的现象学和个体发生的信息？受试者被要求描述从130个单词，短语和字母的列表中听到的物品的颜色感觉。实验组未被告知任何复试，但在一年多后重新测试。对照组（n = 9），智商，记忆力，年龄和性别相匹配，阅读相同的列表，并要求将颜色与每个列表项相关联。他们在测试时被告知，一周后将对清单中的物品进行重新测试。一年后重新测试时，实验组的92.3%的回答与原始测试中给出的答案相同，而对照组的回答只有37.6%（一周后重新测试）。这证实了这9例病例的可疑性。所有9名实验对象都表现出CG联觉，没有一个表现出CL或CP联觉。在实验组中，在听到特定字母时所诱发的颜色中发现了一些一致性，这表明这种情况具有神经学基础。也有证据表明，遗传性伴性家族模式的基础条件。这些不同形式的通感的重要性，我们的理解的模块化的语音感知和色觉进行了讨论。
Evidence was reported earlier from a single case that chromatic-lexical (CL) synaesthesia was a genuine phenomenon. A study is presented in which nine subjects were tested who also reported having coloured hearing. The following questions were addressed: (a) were these cases also genuine (ie consistent over time), (b) were they truly lexical, or rather variants of this condition, such as chromatic-graphemic (CG) or chromatic-phonemic (CP) synaesthesia, (c) did the experimental subjects show any commonalities between them, and (d) were they able to give information on a standard questionnaire about the phenomenology and ontogenesis of the condition? Subjects were asked to describe the colour sensation experienced on hearing items from a list of 130 words, phrases, and letters. The experimental group were not informed of any retest, but were retested more than one year later. A control group (n = 9), matched for IQ, memory, age, and gender, were read the same list and asked to associate a colour with each list item. They were informed at the time of testing that they would be retested on a sample of items from the list a week later. 92.3% of the responses of the experimental group when retested one year later were identical to those given in the original test, compared with only 37.6% of the control subjects' responses (retested one week later). This confirmed the genuineness of these nine cases. All nine experimental subjects showed CG synaesthesia, none showing either CL or CP synaesthesia. Among the experimental group, some consistency was found in the colours evoked by hearing specific letters, suggesting the condition has a neurological basis. There was also evidence of a genetic sex-linked familial pattern underlying the condition. The importance of these distinct forms of synaesthesia for our understanding of the modularity of speech perception and colour vision is discussed.
