In analyzing my data, I found that one of the participants had number-color synesthesia because both of the number-color associations stayed constant. Another interesting thing I learned is that the participants who were mostly non synesthetes had 0-3 constant associations. This is interesting because they should logically have either all constant or no constant associations. The constant associations could be because the participants had a non-synesthetic association with the letter or number, for example refrigerator magnets of a certain color as a child, or they could have been because the participants remembered the color they answered for the first test. There is not much that could be done to prevent the first source of error, but I could limit how many participants remembered their previous answers by spacing out the tests more than I actually did. I have begun to make my poster and it it really exciting to be making an actual scientific poster.
