A study shows that the color of a bowl can influence the taste of the food inside. Some scientists from
the UK gave people potato chips. They were put in red, blue 1 white bowls. The potato chips in red
and blue bowls were believed to be saltier than 2 in white bowls.
Why is that? Scientist Charles Spence from the University of Oxford says the answer is in our brains.
Over 50 percent of the cortex(皮层), the surface of the brain, is used to process visual(视觉的) infor-
mation, while only 1 to 2 percent is involved(有关联) in taste. Our brains depend heavily on what color
we see to organize our experiences 3 food.
But the “taste” of color 4 depends on peoples past experience. For example, if you have eaten
5 very sweet, white-colored ice cream, you may relate(把……联系起来) white to sweetness. In the
study above, scientists say that in the UK, 6 snacks often come in blue packaging(包装). That
could be why people think the food on blue plates tastes saltier.
What do you think of the study? Isnt it interesting?
