Does smell and music trigger emotional memory?

    All the memory data stored in each memory dept is associated with data in other dpts via "codeletts". You have no memories that are isolated. The smell of apple pie may trigger not only memories of Grandma's house on Sunday, for instance, but also the feelings of being at Grandma's eating the pie on Sunday. In another example, the scent of pine may bring a feeling of peace or tranquility if you are prone to enjoy nature immersion.

      I've had the smell of cut grass suddenly bring a strong memory of when I was ten years old, walking along a specific road, with a specific person.

      Sure, scents, sounds can bring back very powerful memories and feelings. Scent sand sounds travel a different route in the brain. No idea how it's all connected.

        They are sent to different departments where associations to other relevant data are coded into them - what we call association. If a smell and feeling are taken in as raw data at the same time, they will be coded as "associating" data. That data will be coded in the language dept of the mind, too. If that data is pulled into a workstation (what I call mid-consciousness) other associations may be consciously assigned to that data. Further subconscious input can also add to the coded associations.

          Well for a small consideration I have friends in high places (if you catch my drift) Draconian 3 in the Throbolian system has a temperate climate, very clean and stable, (has a lot of baths) small population and rich in shiny rocks and crystals.

      You have to ask yourself;
      How do we form memories?
      How are memories stored?
      Is that genetic, or biochemical?
      How would that be passed on?

      I didn't read the article you linked to, but it helps me when I just break down a process and try to figure it out. Are they memories?

      And there are genetic markers for temperament. You can breed them out or breed them in. Are these memories?

      Some animals can walk almost at the moment of birth. Is this an inherited memory, or an automatic function? Like heartbeat or knowing how to swallow?

      If the mother animal never walked (because of injury or genetic defect) would the baby animal still be able to walk? Even though the mother never had a memory of walking?

      We have babies born from women in comas. Are they the same as kids born to healthy women? or different?

      If a baby is born in one culture, but at birth, given to someone in a different culture (different language, etc), does the child still speak it's native language? Or speak the adopted language with an accent of it's native tongue?


      I think (but don't know) that we have an affinity for being near water. Is that a collective memory, or some natural tendency to want to be near water as a survival mechanism?

      Some of these answers become kind of obvious with asking questions, and some of them are still unknown...at least to me.

      But just because I don't know the answer...doesn't mean that nobody knows the answer.

        I've had two Siberian Huskies and they tended to stay out of water. Other owners noted the same thing. Mine would only wade into a creek or lake a little bit. The second one did learn to lie down in very shallow water to cool down.

        My thinking is that for them it is a survival mechanism to avoid water because the water where they come from is very cold and it might mean death to them.

          Maybe. Or maybe it's just a new experience, and that's what frightens them. And if one dog won't go into the water...and the others see that, now they think that water must be something to avoid. That's not an opinion, just a thought. I don't really know.

          My son was scared to death to get into a pool until he was maybe 10 years old. I didn't force it. I just told him that when he was ready, I'd make sure he learned how to swim. One day, he just jumped in, and had a good time.

          My Dad just took me to a pond, walked me out onto a dock..and threw me in the water. I'm not joking. I learned how to swim pretty quickly. That's how he learned how to swim too.
          I wonder how many kids have drowned that way?

          Your answer was so obvious that it made me laugh out loud. I hadn't thought of that.

            I learned to swim when I was thrown into the 9 ft end of a swimming pool. I was 5 1/2. It's not my first memory of fear - but it is my first memory of anger.

            Huskies might avoid deep water by instinct (genetic memory) due to the dual coats they have. Their fur is suited to harsh weather but could bog them down in the water.

            There are some flowers (mainly lilacs and jonquils) that bring back memories - and I always go back to childhood in my mind when I smell fresh cut hay.

              We enjoy the crackle of the fire because it brings back genetic memories of

        The difference between learned and genetic comes when babies are "born" with a knowledge or ability rather than because they are in a family with a tradition of the ability, knowledge.

        Actually, Clyde - we don't know the answer. As I said, I'm comfortable with the idea, but there's nothing concretely stated as proved yet - that I know of.

        Scientists have recently found that dog's brains have actually evolved to be more adapted to human contact. Now that's pretty much a given. Whether human's brains do the same? First we have to set a condition that will persist for a couple thousand years to be able to chart the changes. It's not something that would be easily provable. Perhaps anthropologists will come up with something that they can use to decisively say yes or no, but to my knowledge, they've not done so yet. It's all speculation.

        I think it's likely because our brains are set with some instincts, and as the world changes our "danger" "comfort" factors change, so it would seem that instinct codes would change at some point. These are physiological, so could start to be hardwired right in. Makes sense anyway.

        At this point - if you've got a quarter to toss - we could solve the issue real fast.

          Yep. Even though dogs and wolves are pretty much identical from a DNA point of view, there's a couple of distinctive traits.

          Dogs often understand what "pointing" means and are the only known animal that will "follow" with their eyes where a human points. Wolves don't. Chimps don't even do this.

          If there's some sort of "puzzle" to get food, a wolf will keep trying to work it out and ignore any human presence. However, if a human is near, a dog won't try for very long and instead give up and then stare at the human for help after a short time.

          Scientists have recently found that dog's brains have actually evolved to be more adapted to human contact. Now that's pretty much a given. Whether human's brains do the same? First we have to set a condition that will persist for a couple thousand years to be able to chart the changes. It's not something that would be easily provable. Perhaps anthropologists will come up with something that they can use to decisively say yes or no, but to my knowledge, they've not done so yet. It's all speculation.

          I think it's likely because our brains are set with some instincts, and as the world changes our "danger" "comfort" factors change, so it would seem that instinct codes would change at some point. These are physiological, so could start to be hardwired right in. Makes sense anyway.

          At this point - if you've got a quarter to toss - we could solve the issue real fast.

          by the way, when men are interested in you...do you call it Salivating?

          Dogs have also inherited the genetic trait of grabbing a ball, bringing it to you...with it covered in slobbers. And then having a big grin, because they are so proud of themselves.


          Come to think of it, Riffle does much the same thing.

          Again, Riffle. It's how we met...at a Man-Dog mixer.


          By the way;
          Something that puzzles me, is the idea of a genetic propensity for alcoholism. How would that happen?

          Until the last few thousand years (wild guess) nobody drank alcohol. How would the body know to develop and addiction to it? How would addiction benefit survival? It wouldn't. So why is it there?

          Or....do we all naturally find alcohol addicting, and some of us have developed an immunity to that addictive tendency?

          And I find bragging addictive. But how would I inherit that? Nobody in my family is known as a braggart, except me. So, where did it come from?

          Talk among yourselves. Discuss it.

            This explains the bragging, and I did not know how to break the news, but my private detective has carefully verified that there was a mix up at the hospital and you are actually a Riffle.

            I often think about things that way. What is naturally occurring behavior? What did man do before stuff - such as alcohol or meth.. - was created? When a dog runs through a cornfield, it's not likely to stop and try to eat corn, yet corn is the main ingredient in a lot of dog food - even IAMS and Eukanuba.

              For the same reason Riffle runs through a field of women, and never stops to have sex with them. The connection never occurs to him.

                  You call it ambling or sauntering. Everyone who watches, calls it prancing. How do you think I learned how to prance? Watching Riffle prancing videos.

    Frankly, TB, I'm not sure how we can prove that one either way - but there are theories that parts of our memory can be passed down "genetically". Seeing that we are both social and instinctual beings at some levels, it would seem that we should be able to.

    Dogs show genetic memory, so why wouldn't we, too? That's what domestication is. Dogs have been domesticated for so long they are starting to adapt specific skills in understanding human speech and social habits.

    These theories sometimes get a little too metaphysical - "collective consciousness" - for a lot of people so it's still considered fringe science. I don't see them being such - but still haven't seen one that really hits me as square on, although the concept is comfortable for me.

    Uh Dan? Sapir, mabye, Whorf, more likely -- but not Freud. Not in your wildest dreams.

      I lived on a farm for most of my life, so l know that collective consciousness is real, at least for animals.

      Not quoting on the 100 monkey, potato washing thing, which is fascinating but not concrete proof, l have better evidence than that one!

      I was walking up my driveway, (long driveway) and saw a flock of small birds flying at high speed in perfect formation!

      This wasn't luck, or then watching each other, but about 6 or 7 small birds doing a sharp turn to miss the ground at high speed.

      Very difficialt to near impossible for us to pull something similar with gets or planes, without computers and rader, etc.

      And dumb birds did this!!!!!!

      Dumb birds that were looking straight ahead and not at each other, doing a sharp turn in PERFECT formation.

      So animals operating with a shared mind, is a strong possibility.

      They were in each others energy fields, or were operating as a single unit. So consciousness transcending the mind is possible.

        I think I'm weird when it comes to lawn mowing. I dread doing it and put it off, but once I actually do it, I kind of enjoy it. Same with gardening.

        When I hear people talk about afterlife contact with departed loved ones, smell is often
        discussed. They smell Mom's favorite flower or perfume, or Dad's cigar or cologne
        during the contact.

    I had a quick look at this thread, seems nobody has pointed out this one.

    Sensory Integration on Vimeo

    "Brain Rules". The entire chapter #9 is about senses.

    BRAIN RULE RUNDOWN

    Rule #9: Stimulate more of the senses.
    • Our senses work together so it is important to stimulate them! Your head crackles with the perceptions of the whole world, sight, sound, taste, smell, touch, energetic as a frat party.
    • Smell is unusually effective at evoking memory. If you're tested on the details of a movie while the smell of popcorn is wafted into the air, you'll remember 10-50% more.
    • Smell is really important to business. When you walk into Starbucks, the first thing you smell is coffee. They have done a number of things over the years to make sure that’s the case.
    • The learning link. Those in multisensory environments always do better than those in unisensory environments. They have more recall with better resolution that lasts longer, evident even 20 years later.
    I disagree with John Medina on many things actually.
