The Self-Inflicted Nature of Satiation

Research on satiation and adaptation continues growing with a recent focus on non-physiological mechanisms. That is, satiation is not only the result of feeling physically full, or a shifted reference point. Dr. Redden will present a theoretical framework for understanding satiation as the result of physiological, perceptual, and self-reflective components. This framework helps explain a range of different phenomena from past work: Why does choosing increase satiation? Why do rabid fans seem immune to satiation? Why do children get bored amid a sea of toys, etc.
