Does Food Color Influence Taste and Flavor Perception in Humans
TL;DR: This paper reviewed the empirical literature concerning the important question of whether or not food color influences taste and flavor perception in humans and argued that this is, at least in part, due to the fact that many researchers have failed to distinguish between two qualitatively distinct research questions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Grape expectations: the role of cognitive influences in color-flavor interactions.
TL;DR: It is proposed that color-flavor interactions in flavor perception cannot be understood solely in terms of the principles of multisensory integration but that the role of higher-level cognitive factors, such as expectations, must also be considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
The influence of auditory cues on the perception of, and responses to, food and drink
Charles Spence,Maya U. Shankar +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the growing body of empirical research demonstrating that what we hear can affect our perception of, and responses to, food and drink, and highlight a number of explanations, including multisensory integration, attention, associative learning and expectations, that have all been put forward to account for these cross-modal effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Influence of Color and Label Information on Flavor Perception
TL;DR: This paper examined how the simultaneous manipulation of these two cues (color and label) affects perception of, and hedonic responses to, flavor, and found no interaction between the color and label factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dissociating motivation from reward in human striatal activity
TL;DR: It is concluded that there exist regional limits on inferring reward expectation from striatal activation, and activity scaled differently with value and motivation across the striatum.
