Answer
A
sensory-specific satisfaction
B
learned preferences
C
food availability
D
stress
Explanation
Sensory-specific satisfaction occurs when enjoyment of a particular food decreases after eating it, even if other foods might still seem appealing. Anderson’s desire for chocolate doughnuts faded after he ate one, so this is sensory-specific satisfaction. Learned preferences, food availability, and stress do not explain that change in desire after eating the same food.
