Abstract
Effects of type of imagery activity (putting quarters into a laundry machine, eating M&M’s, eating one’s favorite sweet, or eating one’s favorite food) and food given (M&M’s, skittles, or goldfish crackers) on food consumption were explored. These variables interacted with gender to influence food consumption after completing the imagery task.
