Figure 2. The effect of congruency on magnitude of flavor preferences.

A. Each datapoint represents preference in a multisensory condition (expressed as preference for the congruent relative to the incongruent flavor), plotted against preference in the corresponding unisensory condition (n=132). No significant difference between the two conditions was observed. B. Bars represent differences in preference between multisensory and corresponding unisensory conditions, averaged (±SEM) across all animals and conditions. Preferences are shown separately for odor-based decisions (dark gray) and taste-based decisions (light gray), and for cases where saccharin (n=33), sucrose (n=10), sodium-chloride (n=13) and umami (n=10) was the congruent taste. Two-way ANOVA revealed no significant effects of Modality or Taste.
