A currently unresolved issue in research on synesthesia concerns the extent to which synesthetic experiences arise automatically. To shed light on this issue, we manipulated the stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) in a synesthetic colour priming task (i.e., 0 ms, 200 ms, 1,000 ms). Results show that 200-ms presentations of synesthetic inducers produce reliable synesthetic colour priming at short SOAs. Based on this finding, we conclude that synesthesia is produced by fast-acting, automatic processes.
联觉研究中目前一个尚未解决的问题是，联觉体验在多大程度上是自动产生的。为了阐明这个问题，我们在一个联觉颜色启动任务中操纵了刺激起始异步性（SOA）（即0毫秒、200毫秒、1000毫秒）。结果表明，在短SOA条件下，200毫秒的联觉诱导物呈现会产生可靠的联觉颜色启动。基于这一发现，我们得出结论，联觉是由快速起效的自动过程产生的。
