This is going to be a brief blog, just an A.D.D. moment that I had while reading Yates. There's an excerpt in there from Cicero reasoning that, since humans are sight dependant creatures it makes sense to coordinate memorized material with visual counterparts, but I'm interested in the other senses as well.

I remember an old spice comercial that said smell is the strongest sence tied to memory. I also remember a comercial saying "If your grandfatther hadn't woren it, you wouldn't exhist" but that's totaly unrelated. It might just be marketing, but it makes sense too. How often has a cinimon scented candle transported people back to their best christmas memories?

Anyway, my Idea is to try the efectiveness of scents to recall objects. Rather than relating a memorized object to an aspect of a building, relate it to the scent of orange juice or pine-sol. I'm going to test this idea... yes I am.
