Detailed description

This study examined whether remembered meal satisfaction (encompassing memory for meal liking and satiety) can be manipulated in the laboratory and whether this influences later food intake. In a between-subjects design participants consumed a fixed lunch and then rehearsed the satisfying or dissatisfying aspects of the meal, or a neutral experience (control), in order to manipulate memory for meal satisfaction. Three hours later, in a second visit to the laboratory, participants completed a bogus taste-test to measure food intake and meal memory measures.
