perceptual development: taste and olfaction  

Definición

  • Unlike senses such as vision and audition, where information is transmitted through light and sound waves, our senses of smell and taste are mediated by molecules that stimulate receptors throughout the nasal and oral cavities, respectively. As a result, smell and taste are commonly referred to as chemical senses, and in combination with other inputs, such as texture and temperature, are responsible for determining the flavor of the foods and beverages we ingest.
