Acquired synesthesia?

Posted on July 19, 2012 by Maurice Preter MD

I came across this interesting article

Colizoli O, Murre JM, and Rouw R (2012). Pseudo-Synesthesia through Reading Books with Colored Letters. PloS one, 7 (6) PMID: 22761905

I agree with the blogger and some real syn-esthetics who commented that it really has little to do with synesthesia, and more with mnemotechnic. I wonder if it could be used to learn Chinese characters.
