The development of liking for flavours through conditioning has so far been widely demonstrated in the laboratory. The impact of conditioning in the real world however is yet to be reported. This study investigated the development of liking for flavours through conditioning in the real world as part of everyday life. The study investigated the development of liking for four novel flavoured yoghurts paired with energy (high energy/low energy) and energy requirement (high energy requirement/low energy requirement). Liking was assessed before and after conditioning conducted in the laboratory using traditional laboratory procedures and in the real world using new interactive technology. Following conditioning, liking was found to develop for novel flavoured yoghurts when consumed in a state of high energy requirement. Furthermore, effects were comparable in the laboratory and in the real world. These findings suggest that likings for flavours can be conditioned in the real world as part of every day life as well as in the laboratory. This finding suggests that conditioning is a useful and valid explanation for the development of likings for flavours in everyday life.
到目前为止，通过条件作用对口味的喜好发展已在实验室中得到广泛证实。然而，条件作用在现实世界中的影响尚未见报道。本研究调查了在现实世界中作为日常生活一部分通过条件作用对口味的喜好发展情况。该研究调查了对四种新型口味酸奶的喜好发展，这些酸奶与能量（高能量/低能量）和能量需求（高能量需求/低能量需求）配对。在实验室中使用传统实验室程序以及在现实世界中使用新的交互技术进行条件作用前后，对喜好进行了评估。条件作用后发现，当在高能量需求状态下食用时，对新型口味酸奶的喜好会发展。此外，在实验室和现实世界中的效果相当。这些发现表明，对口味的喜好既可以在现实世界中作为日常生活的一部分进行条件作用，也可以在实验室中进行。这一发现表明，条件作用是对日常生活中口味喜好发展的一种有用且有效的解释。
