Article Synopsis
- This study examines how cognitive distractions, like playing Tetris, impact how people perceive food-related smells based on their weight status (lean vs. overweight/obese).
- 59 participants rated the intensity and pleasantness of various odors while experiencing different levels of distraction.
- Results showed high distraction reduced the pleasantness of odors, especially for lean individuals, and highlighted the varying effects of distraction between genders and weight groups, which could help develop strategies for healthier eating habits.
