Paper Summary:

This paper discusses flavor aversion and its relevance to patients undergoing chemotherapy treatment. It looks at the role of classical Pavlovian conditioning in establishing food and flavor aversions, and ways to counteract them. The paper also points out the importance of this phenomenon in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy.

From the Paper:

"This paper concerns the topic of flavor aversion which develops in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. It is an interesting subject to me because I have known people undergoing such treatment and many of my friends have had family members or friends who have had to undergo chemotherapy treatment for cancer. The one thing that all these people notice is that they can no longer enjoy their favorite foods. One reason is because chemotherapy is very non-specific and is aimed at killing dividing cells.
