“…In addition, HM readily ate a second meal soon after consuming a first, again with no observable change in hunger and fullness ratings. Similar findings have been obtained in other patients who have both a dense amnesia of varied aetiology, and damage to the medial temporal lobes (Higgs, Williamson, Rotshtein, & Humphreys, 2008;Rozin et al, 1998).…”

“…For example, boosting memories of recent eating via explicit recall of the last meal reduces food intake (Higgs, 2002;Higgs, Williamson, & Attwood, 2008). On the other hand, amnesic patients, who are unable to remember eating, eat multiple meals in quick succession (Hebben, Corkin, Eichenbaum, & Shedlack, 1985;Higgs, Williamson, Rotshtein, & Humphreys, 2008;Rozin, Dow, Moscovitch, & Rajaram, 1998). Furthermore, inducing a false memory of what has been eaten has been found to influence appetite in the intermeal interval (Brunstrom et al, 2012).…”

Manipulations of attention during eating and their effects on later snack intake

Manipulation of attention during eating has been reported to affect later consumption via changes in meal memory. The aim of the present studies was to examine the robustness of these effects and investigate moderating factors. Across three studies, attention to eating was manipulated via distraction (via a computer game or TV watching) or focusing of attention to eating, and effects on subsequent snack consumption and meal memory were assessed. The participants were predominantly lean, young women students and the designs were between-subjects. Distraction increased later snack intake and this effect was larger when participants were more motivated to engage with the distracter and were offset when the distractor included food-related cues. Attention to eating reduced later snacking and this effect was larger when participants imagined eating from their own perspective than when they imagined eating from a third person perspective. Meal memory was impaired after distraction but focusing on eating did not affect later meal memory, possibly explained by ceiling effects for the memory measure. The pattern of results suggests that attention manipulations during eating have robust effects on later eating and the effect sizes are medium to large. The data are consistent with previous reports and add to the literature by suggesting that type of attention manipulation is important in determining effects on later eating. The results further suggest that attentive eating may be a useful target in interventions to help with appetite control.

“…This observation was extended in a more recent study (Rozin et al, 1998) in which two amnesiac patients were compared to two brain injured controls. Both amnesiac patients ate a second meal when it was offered shortly after their first, but the brain-injured controls did not (and see Higgs, Williamson, Rotshtein, & Humphreys, 2008). Evidence from intact participants also suggest that mnemonic processes may contribute to intake regulation.…”

Snacking while watching TV impairs food recall and promotes food intake on a later TV free test meal

Eating while viewing TV may impair memory of food intake and promote over-consumption on a later meal. In Experiment 1, females ate a similar amount of snack-food either with or without TV. Later, participants who had snacked with TV ate more food on a TV-free lunch and were less accurate in recalling their earlier snack-food intake. Experiment 2 explored whether the nature of the TV content might alter these effects. Using a similar design, females watched boring, sad or funny TV, or no-TV at all. Relative to the no-TV control, all TV while snacking conditions ate a similarly greater amount on the later TV-free test lunch. Recall accuracy for the snack phase was also similarly poorer in all TV conditions. These findings suggest that eating with TV per se impacts on later food intake, and a mnemonic-based explanation seems to be the best account for these findings.
