“…Thus, people who satiate more quickly to a particular taste may be more prone to seek greater diversification in their diet across a given period of time (Addessi, Mancini, Crescimbene, Ariely, & Visalberghi, 2010;Epstein, Temple, Roemmich, & Bouton, 2009;Pessemier, 1985;Van Trijp, 1994). However, even though sensory-specific satiety has a strong biological basis and is relatively stable over time (Rolls, 2007), it usually refers to similarities of specific food attributes, including taste, appearance, smell, and texture, that are presented within a short time frame (Hetherington, Rolls, & Burley, 1989;Rolls et al, 1981). Thus, it is not clear how far it relates to variety seeking on the level of food items that are consumed over an extended period of time, which is the focus of this paper.…”
