This study assessed the influence of school level and gender on odor sensitivity and identification, and the role of verbal capacity on odor identification in children (4-12 years) by using a revised version of an olfactory test designed for adults [Rouby et al. (1997). Connaissance et reconnaissance d'une série olfactive chez l'enfant préscolaire. Enfance, 1, 152-171]. We found that odor sensitivity and identification scores increased with school level, and that identification performance was better in girls than in boys. However, when we controlled verbal ability, the gender differences disappeared and the school level differences remained. This result indicates that the effect of gender on identification was probably due to the greater verbal ability of girls rather than to their greater olfactory ability per se. In addition, we found that general verbal ability is independent of olfactory fluency and that their influence on olfactory perception is different. Thus, this study illuminates the role of cognitive/verbal factors in the development of odor perception and knowledge.
