    Scientists already know that people may have high taste sensitivity, moderate taste sensitivity, or low taste sensitivity. People who have high taste sensitivity will also tend to have a strong sense of smell as well. There are methods which can be used which can help to determine a person’s sensitivity to taste. One type of method used by researchers involves a chemical called 6-n-propylthiouracil, or PROP. During taste testing, a tiny amount is distributed and the taste tester will react depending on the sensitivity of their taste buds. People who have a strong sense of taste describe the taste of PROP as being very bitter, whereas people who have a mild sense of taste will not taste anything at all.…

    Before starting the four experiments, I had to remember that I had to keep in mind that there are five major senses that our bodies use; taste, smell, seeing and hearing. I also felt that it was extremely important to get a general understanding of what sensory adaptation means. Sensory adaptation is the process by which senses become less responsive to particular stimuli. Therefore, to activate the receptors a stronger stimulus is required and individual’s body receptors will to one type of stimulus at a time (Hersh, 2011).…
