Incidental exposure to hedonic and healthy food features affects food preferences one day later

Cognitive Research: Principles and Implications

Table 4 Mixed-effect regressions of food preference on predictors that included frequency (Freq) and endorsement (Endorse), along with food type (Food) and exposure (Expo)

Regressions were performed on standardized measures. For Food Type, tasty foods were coded + 1, and healthy foods were coded − 1. For Exposure, hedonic exposure was coded + 1, and health exposure was coded − 1
