Sensory memory, also known as perceptual memory, is one of our five memory systems.
As illustrated in the sketchnote below, sensory or perceptual memory is related to our five senses: sight, hearing, smell, touch, and taste.
Find out more about this type of memory by looking at the sketchnote in context, and learn more about olfactive memory with the neurologist Dr. Catherine Thomas-Antérion, who our medical writing team interviewed for the “Observatoire B2V des Mémoires” (B2V Memory Observatory): Memories Have a Smell!
