AP Psychology
Unit 3 – Sensation and Perception
Topic 3.6
What criticism might be levelled against using Locke's empiricism to explain our development of flavor preferences?
Empiricism provides a comprehensive explanation for all human experiences related to flavor preference development.
This view discounts innate predispositions towards certain flavors due to genetic factors.
It inaccurately claims that we have a sixth flavor sense that isn't accounted for in traditional theories.
It overly emphasizes the importance of genetics in determining our sense of taste and smell.
