Abstract in brief

  • The paper reviews existing research on olfactory (smell) memory and compares it to visual and verbal memory, highlighting their similarities and differences.
  • Using a multiple memory systems framework, the authors analyze whether olfactory memory functions as its own distinct system, but more research is needed to confirm this.
  • They propose specific research methods to better understand olfactory memory, aiming to clarify if it is separate and to improve our overall understanding of how smell relates to cognition.]

@ADHD_Psych_Ohio I remember smells in the sense of recognition, but when it comes to calling to mind what the smell is like, I have nothing. From your link I followed a reference to Herz and Engen 1995 "Odor memory: Review and analysis" This is interesting. https://t.co/Upxo04Rnku
