Joachim Vosgerau? ‘The consumption ofa food typically leads to a decrease in its subsequent intake through habituation—a decrease in one's responsiveness tothe food and motivation to obtain it We demonstrated that habituation to 2 food item can accur even when its consumption is merely imagined. Five experiments showed that people who repeatedly imagined eating a food ‘such a cheese) many times subsequently consumed les af the imagined food than did people tho repeatedly imagined eating that food ‘ener times, imagined eating a different food (such as 0:30, No main effocts wore found, F's 1 (Table 1) Experiments 3 t0 5 tested whether habituation or an akemative process causes repetitive imag: inary consumption of a food to reduce subse ‘quent consumption ofthat food. Experiment 3 (OF = 68 participants) tested whether one must repeatedly simulate consumption of the food ot whether repeated exposure to the stimulus [priming (20) is sulficient to reduce subsequent food intake.

Par- ticipans rated their king forthe imagined food before and afler an imagination induction and played a reinforcement game, a measure of ha- brituation (13, 15, 23-25) (Note that his method tested whether repeatedly imagining the consump- thon ofa food leads one to fel disgusted by the fog which could also diminish consumption) First, all participants raged how much they liked cheddar cheese ona seven-point sale with endpoints: ds exremely (1) and lke exteme- ly (), Thea, they imagined 33 repetitive tasks Participants in a three-epetition condition imag ined performing 30 repetitions of the contol task (as in experiment 1) and then imagined eating 3 cheddar cheese cubes, Participants in a 30- ‘petition conuition imagined performing three ‘petitions of the control task and then imagined cating 30 cheddar cheese cubes.

For each thee points eamed in the game, patcpants received one cheddar cheese cube at the end of the experiment. At the end of the game, patiipanis rezated how much they liked cheddar cheese on scale identical to the scale wsed inthe beginning of the experiment. We ealeulated the difference between lik ing ratings before and ser the imagination task to create an index of change in liking, and log transfemed responses in the reinforcement game to crate an index of wanting.
