Prof Dr Remco Havermans (R.C.)
Research profile
My research concerns the psychology of eating, the study of appetite and food choice. Why do we eat what we eat? I've studied basic sensory experiences, the subjective experience of satiation, the learning of food likes and dislikes, the appeal of snack food in its association with overweight, and how public health initiatives may (or may not) contribute to curbing the current obesity epidemic.
