Summary
Reviews research on motivation, taste preference, and obesity. Offers examples of conditioned aversion experiments on rats and their preference for sweet or salty food, and of experiments to alter the predatory behavior of wolves toward sheep. Studies the physiological responses and body weights of animals that digest food they have never seen, tasted, or swallowed; the role of the hypothalamus in the control of body weight; and the treatment of obesity by behavior analysis.
