Abstract
In order to explore the cross-modal cognitive associations between smell and taste, a chemosensory analogue of the Stroop task (Stroop 1935) was developed. Fourteen participants were presented with an odorant and a tastant and asked to identify the tastant as "sweet" or "sour" by pressing 1 of 2 buttons as quickly as possible. Participants were faster to name the taste when it was presented with an odor that was congruent (e.g., strawberry/sweet) than with an incongruent odor (e.g., strawberry/sour). These results support the concept of a high level of cognitive integration between the senses of smell and taste and illustrates occasions of interference between information arising from different sensory systems.
