Taste test and food intake
The taste test consisted of 3 identical small bowls each filled with approximately 74.13 (SD = 5.97) grams of chocolate mousse. The bowls were brought into the testing room by the experimenter, together with either the CS+ or CS− vase with flowers (which was counterbalanced across participants), and placed on the table in front of the participant. She was told there were some small differences between the three types of mousse that she had to detect (in fact they were all identical and the same as the mousse used during conditioning), in order to stimulate her to really try and taste from all the bowls. She received a short questionnaire regarding taste and structure of the three bowls of chocolate mousse, and was told she had 5 minutes to answer the questions, and that the experimenter would return once that time had passed. Unbeknownst to the participant, the bowls were weighed before and after the taste test to assess chocolate mousse consumption.
