AP Psychology
Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.6
Why might a psychologist argue that olfaction plays a key role in memory formation?
By claiming that everyone has experienced nostalgia triggered by a scent, without supporting data.
Asserting smell is the most powerful sense because it's directly linked to the brain's emotional center, without any empirical evidence.
By presenting research demonstrating strong associations between smell and memory recall.
Through anecdotes about how certain aromas remind people of their past.
