Applied olfactory cognition
In recent years a significant body of research has accumulated on olfaction along several lines of investigation, ranging from molecular mechanisms to the neural and cognitive processing of olfactory information, as well as to multiple influences of odors on our everyday lives. The purpose of the present Frontiers’ Research Topic is to present experimental data (run in the laboratory as well as...
متن کاملOlfactory Cognition The Case of Olfactory Imagery
The capacity to form olfactory images has received less attention than the formation of visual and auditory images. The evidence in favor of such ability is also inconsistent. This thesis explored some of the characteristics of olfactory imagery through three empirical studies. Study I investigated the effects of blocking spontaneous sniffing during olfactory imagery. The results indicated that...
متن کاملPerspectives in Applied Cognition
“The proof of the pudding is in the eating”. This symposium shows how results of cognitive studies could be “eaten” in practice. The goal of basic cognitive research is the elucidation of cognitive-affective processes and their functional architecture at different levels of biological and social organization. On the material from several domains, such as perception, attention, memory and commun...
متن کاملAnomalies in Cognition: Olfactory Memory
The two experiments presented in this paper examine the effects of strategies and interference tasks on odor recognition. In the first experiment (an extension of Lyman and McDaniel’s study from 1986), participants were asked to smell 30 odors and to perform different elaborative tasks for each of them such as: (1) providing a name or a short definition; (2) creating an image; (3) describing a ...
متن کاملBayesian learning theory applied to human cognition.
Probabilistic models based on Bayes' rule are an increasingly popular approach to understanding human cognition. Bayesian models allow immense representational latitude and complexity. Because they use normative Bayesian mathematics to process those representations, they define optimal performance on a given task. This article focuses on key mechanisms of Bayesian information processing, and pr...
