Normative ratings for the Kitchen and Food Sounds (KFS) database
Prada, Marília; Guedes, David; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Saraiva, MagdaSounds are important sensory cues for food perception and acceptance. We developed and validated a large-scale database of kitchen and food sounds (180 stimuli) capturing different stages of preparing, cooking, serving, and/or consuming foods and beverages and sounds of packaging, kitchen utensils, and appliances. Each sound was evaluated across nine subjective evaluative dimensions (random order), including st...
Sensitive to music? Examining the crossmodal effect of audition on sweet taste ...
Guedes, David; Prada, Marilia; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Caeiro, Inês; Simões, Carla; Lamy, ElsaPrevious research has shown that music can influence taste perception. While most studies to date have focused on taste intensity ratings, less is known about the influence of musical stimuli on other parameters of taste function. In this within-subjects experiment (N = 73), we tested the effects of three sound conditions (High Sweetness soundtrack – HS; Low Sweetness soundtrack – LS; and Silence – S) on sweet ...
Bidirectionality in multisensory perception: Examining the mutual influences be...
Guedes, David; Prada, Marilia; Lamy, Elsa; Garrido, Margarida VazPrevious research suggests that people reliably associate sounds and tastes. One important and often-cited implication of these crossmodal correspondences is the modulatory effect of sound on taste perception. In contrast, the potential impact of gustatory sensations on auditory perception has received less empirical attention. This paper presents the results of three experiments examining how listening to a sw...
Nutritional profile and consumers’ perceptions of cereal bars
Saraiva, Magda; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Viegas, Cláudia; Prada, MaríliaThe fast pace of our daily lives often prompts consumers to seek convenient and ready-to-eat snacks, such as cereal bars. This work aims to characterize the cereal bars available in the Portuguese market (Study 1), as well as consumers’ perceptions of different types of these products (Study 2). First, we collected data (e.g. nutritional information, price) on 277 cereal bars from two major Portuguese retailers...
Sweet music influences sensory and hedonic perception of food products with var...
Guedes, David; Prada, Marilia; Lamy, Elsa; Garrido, Margarida VazReducing sugar intake is an important nutritional goal in most developed countries. Despite the health consequences of excessive sugar consumption (e.g., non-communicable diseases), individuals are often reluctant to shift dietary habits due to the high hedonic appeal of sugar-rich products. Manipulating the intrinsic sensory attributes of foods (such as color or aroma) has been put forward as a promising frame...
The taste & affect music database: Subjective rating norms for a new set of mus...
Guedes, David; Prada, Marilia; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Lamy, ElsaMusic is a ubiquitous stimulus known to influence human affect, cognition, and behavior. In the context of eating behavior, music has been associated with food choice, intake and, more recently, taste perception. In the latter case, the literature has reported consistent patterns of association between auditory and gustatory attributes, suggesting that individuals reliably recognize taste attributes in musical ...
Crossmodal interactions between audition and taste: A systematic review and nar...
Guedes, David; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Lamy, Elsa; Pereira Cavalheiro, Bernardo; Prada, MariliaTaste perception results from integrating all the senses. In the case of audition, research shows that people can associate certain auditory parameters (e.g., pitch) with basic tastes. Likewise, the surrounding sonic environment (e.g., noise, music) may influence individuals’ evaluation of the taste attributes of foods and drinks. This paper presents the first pre-registered systematic examination of the litera...
Collaborative inhibition effect: the role of memory task and retrieval method
Saraiva, Magda; Albuquerque, Pedro Barbas; Garrido, Margarida VazIt is well established that the recall of collaborative groups is lower than the pooled recall of an equal number of lone individuals—the collaborative inhibition effect (Weldon and Bellinger, J Exp Psychol Learn Memory Cogn 23(5):1160–1175, 1997).This is arguably the case because group members have conflicting retrieval strategies that disrupt each other's recall—theretrieval strategies disruption hypothesis (...
Relationship between objective and perceived sugar content on consumers percept...
Prada, Marília; Saraiva, Magda; Viegas, Cláudia; Cavalheiro, Bernardo P.; Garrido, Margarida VazIn Portugal, about one-fourth of the adult population exceeds the recommended daily amount of free sugars intake. This excessive consumption may be due to a lack of awareness of the sugar content of commonly available processed products. In two studies, we explored this assumption by asking participants (convenient samples) to evaluate the sugar content of breakfast cereals based on the front-of-packaging image...
Social inferences from faces as a function of the left-to-right movement continuum
Mendonça, Rita; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Semin, Gün R.We examined whether reading and writing habits known to drive agency perception also shape the attribution of other agency-related traits, particularly for faces oriented congruently with script direction (i.e., left-to-right). Participants rated front-oriented, left-oriented and right-oriented faces on 14 dimensions. These ratings were first reduced to two dimensions, which were further confirmed with a new sa...
