Answer the questions about each passage as well as questions about both passages .  \nBeam Me Up, Smell ie!  \nby Faith Hickman Brynie  \n1 Talk about instant travel in space and time! It seems that nothing can take you back to a memory faster than an odor. The experience is called the “Proust phenomenon.” It’s named for a French novelist who described a flood of childhood memories that came back to him after he smelled pastry dipped in linden tea.  \n2 It’s hard to argue with Proust’s idea. In our everyday experience, it seems that nothing jogs the memory better than a smell. To see if that’s so, Welsh researchers recruited volunteers who had visited the Jorvik Museum in York, England. Museumgoers there experience not only the sightsand sounds, but also the smells, of a Viking village recreated from a thousand years ago. The researchers gave people tests of facts about the museum, asking what they remembered about their visits several years before. Some of the test takers filled out the questionnaires while smelling the Jorvik Museum’s unique mix of aromas. Others worked while smelling a different odor or none at all. The result? People who smelled “Eau de Jorvik” got the highest scores on the test. This result is not, unfortunately, as much a proof of the Proust phenomenon as it is of a learning process called“context dependent memory.” The same sights, sounds, and odors that are present when we learn something new help us to recall it later. (Remember that when you are studying for a test! )  \n3 To qualify as the Proust phenomenon, an odor prompted memory should be old, vivid, and emotional. There’s evidence for all three. Simon Chu and John Downes at the University of Liverpool asked people in their late 60s and 70s to describe memories that came to mind when they heard a word or smelled an odor. Verbal cues most often produced memories from ages 11 to 25. Odor cues brought back older memories—things that happened when the respondents were ages 6 to  \n10. The same scientists prodded people’s recall with smells, pictures, and words. Subjects rated their smell cued  \nMississippi Academic Assessment Program—Practice Test 3  \nSession 1  \nmemories as more emotional and richer in detail than the word or picture stimulated ones.  \n4 The big question, however, is whether odor is better than sight or sound at bringing back memories vividly. Rachel Herz, a psychologist at the Monell Chemical Senses Center in Philadelphia, says that it isn’t. She showed people paintings and at the same time had them smell an odor or imagine one. A few days later, she exposed them to the odor or gave thema word describing the odor. Regardless of whether they had smelled the odor or just heard the word, people were no more accurate in remembering the painting. However, the emotional content of their memory—how the painting made them feel—was much stronger when the memory’s trigger was odor.  \n5 “I believe that the Proust phenomenon can be subtly redefined,” Herz says.“Odors may trigger a memory of uncommon emotional power, it is true. But the vividness of memory—its sensation of accuracy—is an illusion created by that rush of emotion.” The architecture of the brain explains the Proust phenomenon, Herz thinks. Odors are processed and memories are retrieved (but not stored) in the brain’s right half. The brain’s center of emotion is also there.  \n♦ ♦ ♦  \n“Beam Me Up, Smell ie!” by Faith Brynie, Odyssey, February 1, 2003. Copyright © 2003 by Cricket Media.
