Does good + good = better? A pilot study on the effect of combining hedonically valenced smells and images

► Presented hedonically valenced odors and images simultaneously. ► Examined bimanual skin conductance responses (SCR) and pleasantness ratings. ► Unpleasant odors decrease perceived pleasantness of images. ► Unpleasant odors with unpleasant images elicit stronger SCR than with pleasant images. ► Neutral or pleasant odors did not differentially affect SCR when combined with images.
