Understanding Sensory Perception in Cooking

The cook has been simmering a hearty stew for hours in a busy restaurant kitchen. Initially, the stew's aroma wafted through the kitchen, creating a tantalizing smell that even the restaurant staff commented on. However, as time passed, the cook noticed that the aroma seemed to "wear off," and the scent became less noticeable. The head chef, after an initial whiff of the stew's enticing aroma, suddenly expresses doubts about the seasoning. The cook, wanting to ensure the perfect flavor, decides to taste the stew and potentially adjust the spice level.

Question 1

Short answer
The cook decides to add more spices to the stew. As he tastes the stew again, he realizes that the flavor has indeed changed, but not as much as he expected. He decides to add a bit more of the spices. Meanwhile, the head chef, who has been observing the cook, steps in and tastes the stew. He immediately identifies the spices used and suggests a few adjustments. Based on the scenario described, how do each of the following concepts explain the cook's and the head chef's actions? 2a. Transduction 2b. Top-Down Processing 2c. Sensory Adaptation
