What are the two adaptive consequences of sensory-specific satiety?
What will be an ideal response?
(1) encourages the consumption of a varied diet; if there were no sensory-specific satiety, a person would tend to eat their preferred food and nothing else, and the result would be malnutrition
(2) encourages animals that have access to a variety of foods to eat a lot; an animal that has eaten its fill of one food will often begin eating again if it encounters a different one; this encourages animals to take full advantage of times of abundance, which are all too rare in nature
