Question

Tammy states that every time she is around chicken frying, it reminds her of a picnic she and her parents went on when she was four years old. What sense is likely the most involved in this behavior?

Answer 1

Answer: sense of smell

Explanation:

A sense of smell makes us distinguish different odour based on what emotions or feelings are brought up by each odour. They can be negative , positive or neutral odours all depending on what kind of emotions they bring up.

For Tammy to be able to differentiate that the odour comes from a fried chicken she definitely has to use her sense of smell which evokes those positive feeling of being in a picnic when she was four.

Answer 2

Answer:    Smell

Explanation:  Smell is one of the five senses by which people take in and also smell the scents through the nose. This means that with the sense of smell, we can smell the scents in the kitchen, but the smell can also remind us of some events, as in this case, which reminded Tammy of picnics when she went out as a kid with her parents. This is given by scientists as a known Proust effect, which means that smell can be a trigger for certain events that are stored in our memory. This is due to the olfactory processing system, so it is enough to smell a certain smell and remember an event that was decades earlier, just because of the smell of a certain scent.
