Aromatik Kokuların Bilişsel ve Duygusal Etkileri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

İnsan yaşamında koku duyusu diğer duyulara göre daha az kullanılan bir duyudur. Psikoloji alanında da görsel, işitsel ve dokunmayla ilgili pek çok uyarıcı farklı amaçlarla kullanılırken, kokusal uyaranlar daha az çalışılmaktadır. Bu makalenin amacı psikoloji alanında koku değişkeninin davranışa olan etkisini araştıran çalışmaları incelemektir. Yapılan araştırmalar aromatik kokuların bellekte geri çağırmayı kolaylaştırdığını, duygudurumu olumlu etkilediğini, dikkati artırdığını ve yatıştırıcı etkilerinin olduğuna işaret etmektedir. Beyinde kokunun amigdala ve prefrontal korteksle ilişkili olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu makalede gelecek araştırmalara ışık tutulmaktadır.

A Review on the Cognitive and Emotional Effects of Aromatic Odors

The sense of smell is used less than other senses in human life. Even though visual, auditory and tactile stimuli are largely examined in psychology literature, few studies, unfortunately, examine the influence of odor. The aim of this review was to examine studies related to the effects of aromatic odors on some behaviors. Studies have demonstrated that aromatic odors enhance retrieval of information, positive mood, and attention, and produce relieving effects. Amygdala and prefrontal cortex are related brain areas to aromatic odors. This study highlights some horizons for future studies.
