Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that cognitive influences on eating involve mental processes such as thoughts, beliefs, and perceptions that affect eating behavior.
Identify each option and classify it as either a biological or cognitive influence: genetic predisposition relates to biology, stomach contractions are physiological signals, hormonal signals are biological, and beliefs about healthiness are cognitive.
Recognize that beliefs about the healthiness of certain foods involve conscious thought and evaluation, which are key aspects of cognition.
