Salivation in response to stimulus exposure and simulating its consumption in Experiment 1.
Different letters indicate significant differences between objects, p < .05. Error bars represent standard errors from the mean.

Ratings of consumption simulations by object type and condition in Experiment 2.
Different letters indicate significant differences between objects within a condition, p < .05. Asterisks indicate significant differences between conditions for an object, p < .05. Error bars represent standard errors from the mean.
Fig 6.
Salivation by object type and condition in Experiment 2.
Different letters indicate significant differences between objects within a condition, p < .05. Asterisks indicate significant differences between conditions for an object, p < .05. Error bars represent standard errors from the mean.

Desire to eat by object type and condition in Experiment 2.
Different letters indicate significant differences between objects within a condition, p < .05. Asterisks indicate significant differences between conditions for an object, p < .05, and daggers indicate that p < .10. Error bars represent standard errors from the mean.
