| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Possible effects of auditory verbal cues on flavor perception and swallow physiology for younger and elder participants were analyzed. Apple juice, grass juice, and water were ingested with or without auditory verbal cues. Flavor perception and ease of swallowing were measured using a visual analog scale, and swallow physiology by surface electromyography and cervical auscultation. The auditory verbal cues had significant effects on flavor and ease of swallowing as well as on swallow physiology. The taste score significantly increased when the participant’s anticipation was primed by accurate auditory verbal cues, while the ease of swallowing score significantly decreased when the anticipation was contradicted. Regardless of age, the maximum suprahyoid muscle activity significantly decreased when a beverage was ingested without auditory verbal cues. These results suggest that auditory verbal cues can improve the perceived flavor of beverages and swallow physiology.
