The real deal: Willingness-to-pay and satiety expectations are greater for real foods versus their images

Abstract: Laboratory studies of human dietary choice have relied on computerized two-dimensional (2D) images as stimuli, whereas in everyday life, consumers make decisions in the context of real foods that have actual caloric content and afford grasping and consumption. Surprisingly, few studies have compared whether real foods are valued more than 2D images of foods, and in the studies that have, differences in the stimuli and testing conditions could have resulted in inflated bids for the real foods. Moreover, althoug… Show more

“…The relevance of conceptual information about location for both real and 2-D objects is consistent with the idea that we frequently encounter and use real objects in specific locations which could elicit powerful expectations about co-occurrence 55 . At the same time, our results from inverse MDS complement and critically extend emerging data from behavioral 56 , fMRI 57,58 , EEG 59 and neuropsychological studies 13,60,61 , which have highlighted quantitative and qualitative differences in the way real objects and computerized images are processed during perception 13 , memory 62 , attention 63 and decision-making 64,65 . For example, real objects have been shown to elicit little if any fMRI repetition suppression (fMRI-RS), unlike 2-D images of the same objects, for which fMRI-RS effects are widespread throughout ventral and dorsal cortex 57 .…”

“…In summary, these data provide critical empirical support for recent speculations that realworld objects elicit stronger and more prolonged neural responses in action-related visuomotor networks than images do (Cisek and Kalaska, 2010;Gallivan et al, 2009;Gomez et al, 2017). The results provide new insights into the underlying neural mechanisms that drive the unique effects of real objects on human cognition, including eye movements in infants (Gerhard et al, 2016), object recognition (Chainay and Humphreys, 2001;Humphrey et al, 1994), attention (Gomez et al, 2017), memory (Snow et al, 2014), and decision-making (Mischel and Moore, 1973;Romero et al, 2017). Compared to images, real objects may trigger more vivid motor imagery, more detailed or well-specified action plans, and/or a greater number of competing action plans that must be resolved prior to decision (Gallivan et al, 2009;Gallivan et al, 2011a;Gomez et al, 2017).…”

“…A fundamental assumption in psychology and cognitive neuroscience has been that images of objects, which do not afford action, are processed similarly by the brain as are real-world solid objects. However, there is accumulating behavioral evidence that humans process realworld objects differently to stimuli presented in other display formats, including both 2-D planar (Chainay and Humphreys, 2001;Gerhard et al, 2016;Gomez et al, 2017;Humphrey et al, 1994;Romero et al, 2017;Snow et al, 2011;Snow et al, 2014) and 3-D stereoscopic images of objects (Gomez et al, 2017).The underlying neural mechanisms for these formatrelated effects on behavior have received scant investigation. Although real-world objects have been hypothesized to trigger stronger or more prolonged activation in visuo-motor networks involved in automatic action planning (Cisek and Kalaska, 2010;Gallivan et al, 2009;Gallivan et al, 2011b;Gomez et al, 2017), few studies have tested these ideas directly, most likely because of the difficulty of presenting real-world objects under controlled viewing conditions, and because of limitations in the temporal sensitivity of brain activity as measured by fMRI (Freud et al, 2017;Snow et al, 2011).…”

“…Previous studies have demonstrated that the physical presence of a food, compared to viewing a picture of it, increases subjects' willingness to pay for that food and the expected satiety upon its consumption (43,44). Additionally, cephalic phase responses such as insulin release and salivation all greatly increase with our degree of sensory exposure to a food, going from sight and smell all the way to initial digestion (45).…”
