The decline in ratings of prospective consumption from before to after meals for samples of foods that were either eaten or uneaten at the meal. Sensory-specific satiety (defined as the difference in decline between the eaten and uneaten foods) was not influenced by subject group (P=0.17) or portion size condition (P=0.48), thus the combined results are presented. For both the eaten and uneaten foods, mean ratings of prospective consumption declined after the meal compared to before. However, the decline in ratings of prospective consumption, one marker of the specificity of satiety, was greater for the five foods eaten at the meal than for the seven foods that were rated but not eaten at the meal (P<0.0001). Means with different letters were significantly different.
