Abstract
This study addressed the effectiveness of taste, in addition to odor, as an autobiographical memory cue. Ninety-two individuals recalled and evaluated memories in response to either odor-taste, visual-odor, or visual-taste cues of 16 food items. While the retrieved events were similar across groups, odor-taste cues produced greater emotionality at recollection.
