There was the study (perhaps someone can help with me tha author) in which bowls of soup were rigged to automatically refill in order to see whether participants used their own feeling of fullness, or the height of the soup in the bowl, as the cue to stop eating. I think Peter Herman and Janet Polivy (of U Toronto) have done a number of studies in which the "incidental" eating for snacks during a "distactor task" was the dependent variable. My old MA supervisor (Bernard Lyman of Simon Fraser U) wrote a book called (I think) _The Psychology of Food: More than a Matter of Taste_ back in the mid-1980s. Regards, Chris -- Christopher D.
