Determinants of Food Intake in Obesity

Richard E. Nisbett 1

1 Department of Psychology, Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut

Obese human subjects who were offered three sandwiches ate more than normal subjects. When only one sandwich was offered and additional sandwiches were available but out of sight, the obese subjects ate less than normal subjects. This resuclt is discussed in terms of the types of cues that motivate eating for obese versus normal individuals.
