I am unaware of any distinction. I think Sauce Béarnaise is a Pennsylvania trick of labeling without any new discovery to give the impression of discovery.

As I mentioned yesterday, Seligman and Hager also published a book (an edited volume) entitled "Biological Boundaries of Learning" in 1972. My memory is that the "sauce bernaise syndrome" is mentioned in that book. I was never a reader of Psych Today but I did read the book. It is possible, of course, that Seligman included his own Psych Today article in the book - though I find that dolubtful... For clarification, remember that the "Sauce Bernaise Syndrome" is not the same thing as the "Garcia Effect." The Garcia Effect is an apparent preparedness to make associations between sickness and gustatory stimuli as compared to sickness and audio/visual stimuli. The Sauce Bernaise Syndrome is the tendency to associate the most novel gustatory stimulus (the sauce bernaise) with the sickness, rather than with the actual cause of the sickness. Although both phenomena involve taste aversion learning, they should both be considered "sub phenomena" within the taste aversion literature. -- Jim --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
