Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Overweight and Obesity

Keywords

food intake; memory; remembered satisfaction; memory for recent eating; satiety; eating behavior

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Ad libitum snack intake

  Energy intake (kcal) measured from a bogus taste-test task. Lower intake in those in the satisfying rehearsal condition compared to the control condition and greater intake in the dissatisfying rehearsal condition compared to the control condition were expected.

  Measured during second visit that took place 3 hours after the baseline visit

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Memory for general satisfaction

  Measured during second visit that took place 3 hours after the baseline visit

• Memory for satisfaction with meal satiety

  Measured during second visit that took place 3 hours after the baseline visit

Other Outcomes (4)

• Hunger before lunch

  Measured before lunch (during baseline visit)

• Hunger after lunch

  Measured after lunch (during baseline visit)

• Hunger before the bogus taste-test

  Measured before the bogus taste-test (in second visit that took place 3 hours after the baseline visit)
