AP Psychology
Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.6
What argument could be raised against using evolutionary psychology theories to explain why humans are more sensitive to bitter tastes than sweet ones?
These theories ignore cultural and social factors influencing food preferences.
They inaccurately posit that humans only perceive four basic tastes.
Evolutionary psychology accurately describes all aspects of human behavior including taste preferences.
They overstate the role of genetics in determining sensitivity to different tastes.
