In an experiment 143 subjects were instructed to assign odors to contexts which were displayed in a slide session. The slides depicted contexts from three areas of everyday life which partly contained visual cues related to a presented odor. After rating the fit of each odor to a context, the subjects rated the odors for pleasantness. Analysis showed a strong influence of the visual cue on the rating of fit for the contexts containing an odor-related visual element. In contexts without a visual cue, rating of fit showed an influence of implicitly learned memories of odor. The rating was not affected by the pleasantness of the odors. The 1995 work of Schab and Crowder is critically reviewed, and results are discussed within the framework of new, more ecologically oriented research on memory for odor.
在一项实验中，143名受试者被要求为在幻灯片展示环节中呈现的情境赋予气味。幻灯片描绘了来自日常生活三个领域的情境，这些情境部分包含与所呈现气味相关的视觉线索。在对每种气味与情境的匹配度进行评分后，受试者对气味的愉悦度进行了评分。分析表明，视觉线索对包含与气味相关视觉元素的情境的匹配度评分有强烈影响。在没有视觉线索的情境中，匹配度评分显示出对气味的隐性学习记忆的影响。该评分不受气味愉悦度的影响。对沙布和克劳德1995年的研究进行了批判性综述，并在关于气味记忆的新的、更具生态导向性的研究框架内讨论了结果。
