我们充分利用我们的感觉系统，主要是视觉系统，来识别我们周围的物体。视觉和听觉系统是外感系统，可以从远处探测到物体。另一方面，味觉和体感系统是自感系统，只有当物体位于我们附近时，它们才能检测到物体。嗅觉系统具有外感受和内感受两种特征。但嗅觉系统与物体的有效距离比视觉系统更近。因此，依靠视觉系统来识别外部世界的物体具有很高的适应性。我们首先通过视觉系统识别一个物体，然后我们将注意力转向这个物体，并确定它的其他感官特征，例如气味。正如道尔顿（2002）在她的评论中所描述的，嗅觉有很强的倾向受到自上而下（或概念驱动）过程的影响。因此，假设我们在视觉系统驱动的自上而下的过程的影响下感知和识别物体的气味。本文首先综述了视觉（颜色）对嗅觉感知影响的研究，然后对视觉图像（图片）对嗅觉感知影响的研究进行了综述。然后我们介绍这种现象的概念。
We make full use of our sensory system, chiefly the visual system, to recognize objects around us. The visual and auditory systems are extroceptive systems, which can detect an object from a distance. On the other hand, gustatory and somatosentory systems are introceptive systems, which can detect an object only when the object is located near us. The olfactory system has both extroceptive and introceptive characteristics. But the effective distance from objects for theolfactory system is nearer than for the visual system. Thus it is highly adaptive to depend on the visual system to recognize objects in the external world.We recognize an object firstly by the visual system and then we turn our attention to the object and determine its other sensory characteristics, eg its odor. As Dalton (2002) described in her review, olfaction has a strong tendency to be affected by top-down (or conceptually driven) processes. Thus, it is hypothesized that we perceive and recognize an object’s odor under the influence of a topdown process driven by the visual system. In this paper, we first review the research on effects of vision (color) on olfactory perception and then we review studies concerning the effects of visual images (pictures) on olfactory perception. We then introduce a concept of this phenomenon.
