The Effect of Adaptation on the Taste Threshold Observed with a Semiautomatic Gustometer

Georg Von Békésy 1

1 From the Laboratory of Psychophysics, Harvard University, Cambridge

A special "gustometer" has been built, which permits continuous measurement of the threshold of taste sensations. Taste sensations show strong adaptation even at the threshold level. The adaptation was much the same for the four primary tastes, but there were large individual differences. Of theoretical interest is the finding that adaptation to a taste can occur even with subliminal stimuli.
