Do you associate pizzas with parties? Your weight may determine how you think of food
Saturday, September 23, 2017 IST
In a new research, researchers have found that people of normal weight tend to associate natural foods such as apples with their sensory characteristics. On the other hand, processed foods such as pizzas are generally associated with their function or the context in which they are eaten. Raffaella Rumiati, neuroscientist at the International School for Advanced Studies, said, “It can be considered an instance of ‘embodiment’ in which our brain interacts with our body.”
With two behavioural and electroencephalographic experiments, the study demonstrated that people of normal weight tend to associate natural foods such as apples with their sensory characteristics such as sweetness or softness. On the other hand, processed foods such as pizzas are generally associated with their function or the context in which they are eaten such as parties or picnics.
