New Article – Similarity judgements suggests widespread ability to imagine odors

A new article from the Lab – Evidence from odor similarity judgments suggests a widespread ability to imagine odors – was just published in the Journal of Experimental Psychology: Human Perception and Performance.

In this study, comparisons of similarity judgments between smelled and imagined odors revealed a strong correlation, suggesting that perceptual imagery of odors is possible, with pleasantness serving as a key determinant.
