An assessment of liking for sugars using the estimated daily intake scale.

Gregory J Privitera1, Maxwell Wallace.   

Abstract

Sugar is often used in learning and conditioning studies as an unconditioned stimulus (US) to enhance liking for a flavor mixed with it. To use sugar as a US, participants are selected only if they like the taste of sugar based on their ratings of a sweetened water US during a preexposure trial prior to experimental procedures. This US-only trail introduces a potential sensory bias and can lead to participant attrition when such a trial is conducted the day prior to experimental procedures. The aim of the present study was to construct a brief scale, called the Estimated Daily Intake Scale for Sugar (EDIS-S), to measure a participant's exposure to sugar in their diet. It was hypothesized that exposure to sugar would be positively correlated with liking for sugar. As expected, an 11-item EDIS-S was reliable and significantly correlated with ratings of liking for a sweetened taste solution. Implications for the use of the EDIS-S as an assessment in many areas of research, and as a participant selection tool for conditioning studies are discussed.
