Taste Aversion Learning
Captions available
The idea
Taste aversion learning is a conditioned avoidance of a food after a single pairing with illness, often hours later.
In practice
One episode of food poisoning after a specific dish produces lasting aversion to that dish alone.
Where people slip
Taste aversion breaks the usual rules on repetition and timing, which is why it reshaped conditioning theory.
