2. 1. 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.
