AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Consumer taste experiences that are influenced by genetics, location, cultural differences, commonly consumed flavors, dishes and more can impact taste perception. Due to this, you may be more sensitive to certain tastes and flavors than another individual.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are many factors that influence perceptual sets such as motivations, culture, past experiences, peers, and beliefs and expectations. This process of determining which information should be retained and which can be omitted is referred to as a perceptual screen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Taste buds can be put out of action by both high and low temperatures. Increasing temperature appears to increase the response to sweetness and decrease it to saltiness and bitterness. Decreasing temperature appears to increase the response to bitterness and decrease the response to sourness.

Detailed explanation-4: -The expectancy created by their perception of the wine’s colour influences their taste perception and may therefore lead to errors of perception. While their perceptual set normally enhances their perception, it may also lead them in certain circumstances into faulty perceptions.
