Answer:

Synaesthesia

Explanation:

Synaesthesia is the phenomenon where cognitive processes "overlap", i.e. stimulation of one cognitive process stimulates another. More simply, it is the "joining up" of sensations that are normally considered separate.

Common ways in which this occurs is:

  • associating numbers and letters with colors
  • associating certain musical notes with shapes or colors
  • It could also reflect "where" someone sees something. For example a time period could have a very strong "location" in someone's head
  • Spoken words can produce a taste or smell
