My parents both had days when they had nothing to eat as children during the Great Depression. They never forgot it and saturated their children with it. When I was a kid I fully expected to starve to death some day. Still do.
So how do we explain Audrey Hepburn who had to eat bulbs during the war and never looked as though she ate much else?
That is a learned behavior.
I am surprised this article did not include the study done on flat worms.
Flat worms (playhelminthes) were kept in the dark, a light was turned on, then a shock was administered. (similar to Dr. Bateman’s experiments).
Those worms were ground up and fed to worms not so conditioned. The worms fed the shocked worms recoiled when a light was turned, similar to as if they were anticipating the shock to follow.
Same here. I think my son may have escaped.
Me, too.
