Switching between chewing-gum and no-gum at learning and retrieval does not accentuate error production in free recall [PDF]
, 2010 Three experiments compared chewing gum to a no gum condition to examine further the finding (Anderson, Berry, Morse & Diotte, 2005) that switching flavour between learning and recall encourages error production independently of free recall.

Chewing Gum—Facts and Fiction: a Review of Gum-Chewing and Oral Health [PDF]
Critical Reviews in Oral Biology & Medicine, 1999 The world market for chewing gum is estimated to be 560,000 tons per year, representing approximately US $5 billion. Some 374 billion pieces of chewing gum are sold worldwide every year, representing 187 billion hours of gum-chewing if each piece of gum is chewed for 30 minutes. Chewing gum can thus be expected to have an influence on oral health. The

Chewing gum and context-dependent memory: The independent roles of chewing gum and mint flavour [PDF]
, 2008 Two experiments independently investigated the basis of the chewing-gum induced context-dependent memory effect (Baker et al, 2004). At learning and/or recall participants either chewed flavourless gum (Experiment 1) or received mint-flavoured strips ...
