Aversive conditioning of junk food consumption: a multiple baseline study.
Three female volunteers participated in a multiple-baseline study of an aversive conditioning treatment designed to reduce consumption of junk food. Self-reported consumption, ratings of palatability, and SHP (salivation) measures decreased following the introduction of treatment for each participant. Independent assessment of treatment compliance suggested a relationship between adherence and outcome.
