Currently, massive exposure to junk food results in improved discrimination between sensory similar foods, leading to a lack of generalization of sensory-specific satiety and thus to an increase in consumption by the so-called "buffet effect".

Academic skills that predict success of university students

The main results of a research carried out by CIMCYC researchers indicate that cognitive skills are not the only ones that determine the academic performance of university students. This study promotes the planning of more comprehensive training paths in the university context, which favor the integral development of students. In addition, it provides keys to enhance the performance of students with diverse characteristics and opens a line of work focused on identifying the conditions that favor students to make the most of their time at university.
