Intermodal mapping

Intermodal mapping is the ability, inborn according to research, of humans to recognize stimuli using a sense different from the one it was originally presented to.[1] This implies that stimuli are represented universally in the brain and available to all senses and need not be learned by pairing (classical conditioning).
