Memory for item–location bindings is enhanced in older adults with appetitive motivationally laden pictures
Psychological Research, 2020Co-Authors: Caterina Padulo, Nicola Mammarella, Alfredo Brancucci, Beth FairfieldAbstract:Both the selection and consumption of Food are biologically necessary for survival. Consequently, individuals may consider Food as a primary and biologically relevant stimulus. In addition, recent findings support specific patterns of Food preference during the lifespan development. Indeed, the preference for sweet taste largely observed in newborns and children seems to decline in young adults and then re-emerge again in older adults. This motivational preference for sweet Food in older adults may be potentially useful in the cognitive domain since many studies have found that motivationally or emotionally laden information is more likely to be detected, stored in memory and retrieved better than neutral information. To address this issue, we designed an item–location binding task with sweet Food, Savory Food and object pictures, and asked young and older adults to maintain information in working memory and respond based on memory for either individual features or feature combination (i.e., identification, location, or combined identification + location information). Results evidenced a significant enhancement of older adults’ performance in the binding of motivationally relevant stimuli and their location, evidencing the potential usefulness of motivationally laden stimuli in promoting more effective binding processes and probably, more general working memory processes.

Does MRI Acoustic Noise Affect Chemosensory Perception?
Chemosensory Perception, 2019Co-Authors: Remco C. Havermans, Anouk E. M. HendriksAbstract:Introduction Sounds can affect Food and flavor perception. For example, loud noise can affect taste perception. In the present study, we examined whether exposure to ~ 80-dB magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) acoustic noise affects taste perception. Methods Participants ( N = 27) came to the lab twice for a taste test, a smell test, and evaluating sweet and Savory Food items: once when continuously being exposed to loud MRI acoustic noise and once when being exposed to much quieter background noise. It was hypothesized that exposure to loud noise would impair taste perception, especially identifying and detecting sweet taste, and that it would decrease liking for the taste of particularly sweet Foods. Results Neither overall taste detection nor sweet taste detection was affected by exposure to MRI acoustic noise. Further, we found no effect of noise on sweet Food liking, but exploratory analyses do imply such an effect of MRI noise on liking for Savory Foods, with these Foods being significantly less liked when exposed to MRI acoustic noise. Conclusion We conclude that loud noises do not necessarily affect chemosensory perception. Implications MRI acoustic noise specifically does not seem to have a relevant effect on smell and taste.
