One small additional point about taste/smell: The receptors are different in a practical way. Olfactory receptors are contacted by molecules in the air (gases, vapors, particles, etc.), but the gustatory receptors are only affected by molecules in liquid. The distinction isn't absolute, of

Just a thought...it's about time we find a new name for the concept of flashbulb memory. If you don't think so, ask your students how many of them have ever seen a flashbulb. On second thought, maybe some of the younger TIPS members themselves have never seen a flashbulb. I have a few in my
