Chemosignals of Fear Enhance Cognitive Performance in Humans
Denise Chen, Ameeta Katdare, and Nadia Lucas
Chem. Senses 2006 31: 415-423.
http://chemse.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/content/abstract/31/5/415?etoc
Excerpt from article summary:
"...in humans, fear
chemosignals facilitated overall accuracy in identifying word
relatedness independent of the perceived olfactory qualities
of the smells. We have also suggested that the effect arises
from a learned association including greater cautiousness
and concomitant changes in cognitive strategies."
