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...
Misinformation in social interaction: Examining the role of discussion
Saraiva, Magda; Garrido, M. V.Memory is a reconstructive process that is prone to intrusions and distortions. These processes can be amplified by the emergence and propagation of false information in the social environment. While the acceptance of misinformation is well documented in individual memory tasks, the production of false memories in social interaction contexts presents mixed findings. One factor that may contribute to these incon...
Nutritional profile and consumers’ perceptions of cereal bars
Saraiva, Magda; Garrido, Margarida; 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...

Collaborative inhibition effect: The role of memory task and retrieval method
Saraiva, Magda; Albuquerque, Pedro B.; Garrido, Margarida V.It 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 efect (Weldon and Bellinger, J Exp Psychol Learn Memory Cogn 23(5):1160–1175, 1997). This is arguably the case because group members have conficting retrieval strategies that disrupt each other's recall—the retrieval 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...
Does the linguistic expectancy bias extend to a second language?
Garrido, Margarida V.; Saraiva, Magda; Semin, Gün R.The linguistic expectancy bias (LEB) reflects the tendency to describe expectancyconsistent behavior more abstractly than expectancy-inconsistent. The current studies replicate the LEB in Portuguese and examine it in a second language (English). Earlier studies found differences in processing a first language (L1) and a second language (L2) shaping affective and cognitive processes. We did not expect these diff...
Parental perceptions and practices regarding sugar intake by school-aged childr...
Marília, Prada; Saraiva, Magda; Godinho, Cristina A.; Tourais, Bárbara; Cavalheiro, Bernardo P.; Garrido, Margarida V.Excessive sugar intake is one of the factors contributing to the alarming rates of childhood obesity and overweight in Portugal. Children's preferences and food consumption patterns are largely determined by the foods that are more familiar to them. Parents and caregivers are responsible for shaping children's eating habits since they are the ones who choose the food available in the household. The present stud...
The impact of sugar-related claims on perceived healthfulness, caloric value an...
Prada, Marília; Saraiva, Magda; Sério, Ana; Coelho, Sofia; Godinho, Cristina A.; Garrido, Margarida V.Food packaging usually includes multiple cues, including claims about nutrients that may modulate how the consumer perceives (and behaves towards) the product. In the current work, we systematically examined how different types of claims about sugar influenced the perception of food product categories (i.e., yogurts, ice creams, cookies, and breakfast cereals). In two experiments (combined n = 406), participant...
