The present experiments explore whether there may be some forms of implicit memory for odors. In the first experiment, the elaborateness of olfactory encoding was varied at presentation. For (explicit) recognition memory testing we found positive effects of labeling responses to odors at encoding. Implicit memory measures (temporal and preference judgments) did not reveal reliable effects of prior odor presentation, however. The second experiment corroborated effects of levels of processing on r recognition memory. Again, perceptual or affective judgments remained insensitive for prior odor exposures. Implicit memory could only be detected with verbal measures at the testing stage (labeling accuracy or latency). These results are consistent with the proposal that odor information is represented at different levels of processing that are even with implicit memory measures only partly accessible.
目前的实验探讨了气味是否可能存在某种形式的内隐记忆。在第一个实验中，嗅觉编码的精细程度在呈现时有所变化。对于（外显）识别记忆测试，我们发现在编码时对气味的标记反应有积极影响。然而，内隐记忆测量（时间和偏好判断）并未显示出先前气味呈现的可靠影响。第二个实验证实了加工水平对识别记忆的影响。同样，知觉或情感判断对先前的气味暴露不敏感。只有在测试阶段采用言语测量（标记准确性或潜伏期）才能检测到内隐记忆。这些结果与以下观点一致：气味信息在不同的加工水平上得到表征，即使是内隐记忆测量也只能部分获取这些信息。
