Opis

The power of odours to unlock human memory is celebrated in literature and anecdote, but poorly documented by science. This volume points to the need for the legitimization of the study of odour memory as a proper specialization, and is informed by ideas in the mainstream study of memory.

Recenzje

"This collection of essays, although small in size, seems big in potential import. New horizons have benn proposed and old problems have been classified. A book well worth nosing around in by any cognitive scientist."
—Applied Cognitive

Schab and Crowder successfully convince the reader of the importance of studying odor memory. The book is filled with stimulating questions for future research, and it would be an ideal book for graduate students looking for ideas for research projects.
—Contemporary Psychology
