Students Share Personal Ways Their Senses are Connected

By Abby Dunbar, News Staffer

How we see, smell, or hear things is proven to be closely linked to memory storage and creation. 5% of what we see, we store as memory and 35% of what we smell becomes linked to a memory. A taste can trigger a memory of holidays or a fun dinner, and a sound can remind you of an experience or event. Here’s what FHN students are connecting.

Ian St. Gemme, 10

“I would say my vacation to Chicago was a very nice trip to me. As for my memories, mostly just vacations I got.”

Lucy Schmidt, 10

“My favorite memory is being in Hawaii with my family. Palm trees remind me of it a lot but the smell of a fresh ocean does too.”

Kaylin Minnella, 9

“Choir for the first time, because there’s a lot of people in choir, I didn’t really know, but now I’m best friends with.”
