What is the one of the 5 sences that best relates to memory?

Question

I'm just wondering which sence would you use to remember things easily with.

Answer 1

Smell. Researchers have proved it over and over. We remember smells when we forget everything else. Oh, that's the perfume my mother wore. What's that baking? Smells like shoo fly pie. Even when you forget (consciously) where you smelled it before, it can evoke memories. There's an incense I call "the head shop smell." I don't know it's name, but it puts me back in the Psychedelicatessan on the Lower East Side every time.

Answer 2

I would have to say 'smell' is the strongest. I walked into a school recently, and the smell of the hallway I was in instantly brought back vivid memories from 35 years ago that I had completely forgotten about ...until that moment.

Answer 3

i guess its different for every person but i tend to find that if i hear and see things together (like sitting in a lecture) then i remember things better than if i had only one of the two. maybe hearing is the most related to memory, that makes sense

Answer 4
