2. 1. Autobiographical odor memory

   Author : Johan Willander; Maria Larsson; Martin Conway; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Autobiographical odor memory; autobiographical memory; olfaction; olfactory imagery; episodic memory; age distribution; phenomenological experience; emotion; Psychology; Psykologi; psykologi; Psychology;

   Abstract : In the present thesis, three empirical studies investigate autobiographical odor memory with regard to: (a) whole life-span age distributions, (b) phenomenological experience, (c) semantic processing, and (d) odor imagery. Study I explored potential influences of cue type (words, pictures, odors) on the retrieval of autobiographical memories. READ MORE

4. 2. The alluring nature of episodic odor memory : Sensory and cognitive correlates across age and sex

   Author : Christina Blåvarg; Peter Juslin; Mats J. Olsson; Steven Nordin; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Olfaction; Age; Sex; Episodic odor memory; Odor identification; Recollective experience; Hedonic; Healthy; Adults; Psychology; Psykologi;

   Abstract : Episodic memory for olfactory information is still relatively uncharted. The overall purpose of this thesis is to investigate the sensory and cognitive causes of the well-established age-related decline in olfactory episodic odor memory and of the age-independent sex difference in olfactory episodic memory.

5. 3. Olfactory Cognition : The Case of Olfactory Imagery

   Author : Artin Arshamian; Maria Larsson; Jane Plailly; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Olfactory imagery; sniffing; olfactory awareness; odor threshold; episodic odor memory; odor identification; odor evoked autobiographical memory; fMRI; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : 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. READ MORE

6. 4. Human olfaction : Associations with longitudinal assessment of episodic memory, dementia, and mortality risk

   Author : Ingrid Ekström; Jonas Olofsson; Maria Larsson; Devangere Devanand; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; olfaction; odor identification; self-assessments; aging; episodic memory; ApoE; dementia; Alzheimer’s disease; vascular dementia; mortality; cohort study; population-based.; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : A declining sense of smell is a common feature in older age. Above and beyond diminished smelling capacity due to normal processes of human aging, impairments in olfactory function have also been linked to numerous ill-health related outcomes, such as cognitive dysfunctions, dementia pathology and even an increased risk of death.

7. 5. Auditory and Olfactory Abilities in Blind and Sighted Individuals : More Similarities than Differences

   Author : Stina Cornell Kärnekull; Maria Larsson; Mats E Nilsson; Johan Willander; Fredrik U Jönsson; Johannes Frasnelli; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; absolute threshold; audition; autobiographical memory; blindness; discrimination; episodic recognition; identification; imagery; judgments of learning; memory; metacognition; olfaction; onset age of blindness; reminiscence bump; sensory compensation; Psychology; psykologi;

   Abstract : Blind individuals face various challenges in everyday life because of the lack of visual input. However, since they need to rely on the non-visual senses for everyday tasks, for instance, when navigating the environment, the question has been raised as to whether perceptual and cognitive abilities in these senses may be enhanced.
