Efficiency of post-meal memory inhibition predicts subsequent food intake.

Memory processes may contribute to appetite regulation. When people look at palatable foods, their desire to consume them depends upon memory retrieval (i.e.

Forensic alcohol calculations in individuals under the age of 18.

Alcohol calculations are carried out in many forensic case types. On occasion, individuals under the age of 18 are involved, and alcohol calculations may be beneficial. To date, there are no studies that have determined the best way to estimate total body water (TBW) or alcohol elimination rates in juveniles for alcohol calculations.

Predictors of state-based changes in wanting and liking.

People report wanting food when they are hungry, and on eating it they typically report liking the experience. After eating, both wanting and liking decline, but wanting declines to a greater extent, which we term the 'affective discrepancy effect'. In this study we examine the predictors - state, sensory and memory-based - of these affective changes.

The psychological basis of reductions in food desire during satiety.

Satiety-the reduced desire to eat, drink or have sex in their respective aftermath-is particularly important for feeding, where it assists energy balance. During satiety, the anticipated pleasure of eating is far less than the actual pleasure of eating. Here we examine two accounts of this effect: (i) satiety signals inhibit retrieval of pleasant food memories that form desirable images, allowing unpleasant memories into mind; (ii) feelings of fullness reflect what eating would be like now, negating the need for imagery.
