Slow down! Insensitivity to rate of consumption leads to avoidable satiation
Galak, Kruger and Loewenstein found that people who chose how fast to consume a favourite snack or a video game went too quickly and tired of it sooner than at a slower pace, because they did not recognise that longer breaks between episodes slow satiation; people who set their own pace enjoyed the experience less than people given a slower pace.
