Biography
I am a third year PhD student at Bournemouth University. My research is primarily focusing on the existence and independence of an olfactory short term memory. Memory for odours have demonstrated unique characteristics in memory tasks, which when compared to memory for other types of stimuli appear to suggest that they are processed in qualitatively different ways.
The research aims to further examine this independence, in particular considering the interaction between the odour perceptual code and phonological information when creating an odour object in memory. Various short term and working memory methodologies are be applied, but mostly centres on odour sequence memory and the n-back task, building upon previous research by Andrew Johnson. We hope to examine this odour memory in the context of forgetting, especially with consideration of mild cognitive impairments and the potential early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s Disease.
