An assessment of liking for sugars using the estimated daily intake scale
چکیده انگلیسی

Sugar is often used in learning and conditioning studies as an unconditioned stimulus (US) to enhance liking for a flavor mixed with it. To use sugar as a US, participants are selected only if they like the taste of sugar based on their ratings of a sweetened water US during a preexposure trial prior to experimental procedures. This US-only trail introduces a potential sensory bias and can lead to participant attrition when such a trial is conducted the day prior to experimental procedures. The aim of the present study was to construct a brief scale, called the Estimated Daily Intake Scale for Sugar (EDIS-S), to measure a participant's exposure to sugar in their diet. It was hypothesized that exposure to sugar would be positively correlated with liking for sugar. As expected, an 11-item EDIS-S was reliable and significantly correlated with ratings of liking for a sweetened taste solution. Implications for the use of the EDIS-S as an assessment in many areas of research, and as a participant selection tool for conditioning studies are discussed.

Research highlights
► We tested the validity and reliability of a scale that measures exposure to sugar.
► The scale is called the estimate daily intake scale for sugar (EDIS-S).
► The scale was reliable and positively correlated with ratings for a sugar solution.
► The scale provides an alternative to select participants to conditioning studies.
► The scale is the first to measure exposure to sugars, independent of health.
