What is the one of the 5 sences that best relates to memory?


Question:
I'm just wondering which sence would you use to remember things easily with.

Answers:
Smell. Researchers have proved it over and over. We remember smells when we forget everything else. Oh, that's the perfume my mother wore. What's that baking? Smells like shoo fly pie. Even when you forget (consciously) where you smelled it before, it can evoke memories. There's an incense I call "the head shop smell." I don't know it's name, but it puts me back in the Psychedelicatessan on the Lower East Side every time.
as i understand it, the sense of smell is more powerful at bringing up images of the past.
