One morning in 2013 I woke up with an unusual stomach ache and did not think much of it, later on that day I made myself a lunch. Till this day I will never have the same meal again, just thought of it gets me sick. My second experience was a little over a month when I could not say the word bowl in my French class and instead said everything that relates to a bowl instead of the actual word itself. The two topics that I have chosen to support and explain both my experiences are Sauce Bearnaise syndrome and Tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon and they will be explained below.
On an ordinary Saturday morning in 2013 I had woken up with a stomach ache and did not take it serious. A couple of hours later I made myself a Lipton Cup of soup for lunch …show more content…
This syndrome is a reflexive behavior which also falls under the Classical conditioned learning concept. The definition of this syndrome is: getting sick or having a stomach ache at the smell, taste or thought of a certain food because of an incident that happened in the past that made you sick after, having said food. This theory is different from “Garcia’s Experiment” because in Sauce Bearnaise syndrome you are naturally sick and coincidentally eat something that you believed made you even more sick. On the other hand “Garcia’s Experiment” is when the animals eat whatever food was provided, and after finishing their food they are given a drug or radiation treatment. In result the animal will avoid eating that food again. Garcia’s Experiment is intentionally making the animals avoid a certain food and Sauce Bearnaise syndrome is a simple coincidence. The event that happened to me four years ago relates to the Sauce Bearnaise syndrome because it fits the description so well. I was sick and did nothing about it then had soup to try and help the situation, puked it out and then blamed the soup for throwing up. Now I do not eat that soup, do not think of it, and I still get sick because of its stench. Sometimes other soups like Lipton Cup do the same effect depending on the similarities of both
