Something getting overlooked is common sense which ever more appears to be lacking in so many people these days!

Isnt smell directly connected to taste in that you can almost taste some smells and if you've a cold your sense of taste goes out of the window.

I'd say touch, you may not be able to associate touch to memory as such. BUT touch is relied on for a great many things and is far more sensitive than sight and hearing.

Common sense is the sound judgment not based on specialized knowledge. It's basically the ability to solves puzzles with the presence of ignorance.

IMHO

Meant in this way, then smell definately.

There are certain smells that are wondefully evocative for me, just a whiff and I'm immediately transported to another time and place.

Touch does it for me.

But I've recently discovered that I'm alive to sixth sense. It's happened twice now: FIL visited me again. This time I knew it was him.

What you think of as taste is in fact your sense of smell. The actual sense of taste only applies to salty, bitter, sweet and sour flavours. Anything specific you think you're tasting is in fact being smelt.

How does that work? The olfactory sense hardware is in the nose, you can eat things with your nose covered and still taste various things...
