The psychology of food craving
Hill's review describes food cravings as intense, specific hedonic responses that are common among young adults and closely linked to liking. It reports that cognitive, conditioning and emotional processes, including conditioned cue reactivity, are offered as accounts of cravings, and that the view of cravings as a signal of a specific need is giving way to a more complex understanding.
