Participants engaged in multisensory imagery chose smaller portions of dessert, yet they anticipated greater enjoyment and were willing to pay more for these smaller portions. This is because multisensory imagery made people choose based on sensory pleasure rather than on hunger or value for money. This effect was found in hungry, nondieting people only, because sated or dieting people choose small portions by default. Focusing on the unhealthy consequences of eating also made people choose small portions but reduced their expected enjoyment from eating and willingness to pay for it.
