How is taste aversion different from other examples of classical conditioning?

Taste aversion is a type of classical conditioning where an individual associates a specific taste with feeling sick, leading to a dislike of that taste. Unlike other examples of classical conditioning, taste aversion can occur after just one pairing of the taste with feeling sick, and the association is often strong and long-lasting.


Will you taste what you smell?

No, the sense of smell and taste are related but separate. While smelling food helps enhance its flavor, you won't directly taste what you smell without also putting the food in your mouth.


What is conditioned taste aversion?

How is taste and smell closely linked?

Taste and smell are two of our senses that are very much integrated with each other. As a matter of fact, these two senses share afferent pathways to the brain and therefore are influenced by the same stimuli. Both taste buds and olfactory bulbs are in a group of receptors known as chemoreceptors (they respond to chemical stimuli). In the case of smell, it's the aromatic gases released by substances that trigger a response. In the case of taste, it is the mixing of flavor chemicals with saliva in the mouth that triggers a response.
