Abstract

"Are Chimpanzees synaesthetic?" An affirmative answer to this question appeared recently in a Nature co mmentary on a

study by Ludwig, Adachi, and Matzuzawa (2011) that demonstrated crossmodal correspondences in both chimpanzees

and humans. Here we question the cla im that chimpanze es a re synaes thetic. We a lso q uestion the claim that certain

crossmodal correspondences are innate. We suggest an alternative account for the crossmodal correspondence between

auditory pitch and visual lightness in terms of the internalization of correlations present in the environment. We highlight thelimitations of such natural correlation approaches to the study of crossmodal correspondences a s well as how such claims

could potentially be tested in future research.
