| Abstract: | In two experiments, participants inspected and drank a series of drinks, half of which contained sugar and half unpalatable
Tween20 (tween). Each sugar and tween drink had a particular flavor and color. Following this training, the flavors of the
sugar drinks were assigned higher hedonic evaluations than were those of the tween drinks, even though the participants did
not reliably report which flavors had been present in the sugar and tween drinks during training. Moreover, the evaluative
conditioning of the flavors was unaffected by whether or not the colors alone had been pretrained to predict the presence
of sugar or tween in the drinks. In accord with Baeyens, Eelen, van den Bergh, and Crombez (1990), we conclude that flavor-evaluative
conditioning is not mediated by contingency learning. |
