You may have read the study, but I'd be interested in seeing the reference. I'm skeptical that it could work given that olfaction is often a casualty of Alzheimer's Disease. I also can't imagine it working for any length of time, given the progressive nature of the disease. Carol

For example'the smell of strawberry could be an indication that the client has wandered too far from the main house and the client should stop and return to the main house. And while on this subject,would that be classified as state or cue dependent learning?
