Researchers recently conducted a study in which a novel odor was paired with either a positive or negative emotional Line experience. Ratings associated with the

17、 test odor varied in accordance with the (5) paired emotion, such that the odor was perceived as either congenial or noisome, depending upon the quality of paired experience the participant had. Olfactory sensory attributes may produce an unlearned impact when odors are irritating; in these cases di

18、scomfort is experienced simultaneously to odor sensation, an event occurring when stimulation of the trigeminal nerve occurs (10) coterminous with olfactory sensation. Many odors elicit trigeminal stimulation to varying degrees, so that the subjective distinction between pure odor and trigeminal irr

19、itation is not possible to make, though scientists have precipitously ventured to suggest methods.

26、nate reaction. （ C） Irritating smells are the only ones which are considered likely to produce innate, or unlearned, reactions. （ D） Most subjects can distinguish between pure odor sensation and trigeminal nerve sensation enough to determine which reactions are innate. （ E） Innate reactions are prod
