Non-random associations of graphemes to colours in synaesthetic and non-synaesthetic populations

Simner, J., Ward, J., Lanz, M., Jansari, A., Noonan, K., Glover, L. and Oakley, D.A. (2005) Non-random associations of graphemes to colours in synaesthetic and non-synaesthetic populations. Cognitive Neuropsychology, 22(8), pp. 1069–1085. doi: 10.1080/02643290500200122

The appendix in the above article showed, inter alia, the order of colour terms according to frequency in the British National Corpus (Table column 2). This ordering was incorrect in the original article, because the colour blue was out of sequence. The correct ordering is shown below. All other elements were correct, and the analyses in the article were based on the correct ordering.
