There have been studies linked between the sense of smell, and the memory. However, you asked "Does smell affect memory?" Often times you will see or feel something that may trigger a memory of a good or maybe a bad time; it is much the same with smell. i have experienced it many times, I will smell something and I'm suddenly drawn back to a specific moment where my mind seems to think I last smelled that scent last. This is a very common thing to happen, and many people experience it daily. The nose feeds directly into the brain, without going through the same filtering and interpretation mechanisms that sight, taste, hearing and touch do. Studies have shown that studying with a specific aroma around, and then taking a test in the presence of that aroma will improve memory and scores.
