Gustation
Definition:
(n.) The act of tasting.
Example Sentences:
(1) The possibility of applying Signal Detection Theory (SDT) to gustation was investigated by testing the effect of three variables--smoking, signal probability, and food intake (confounded with time of day)--on the taste sensitivity to sucrose of 24 male and 24 female Ss.
(2) While gustation in the hamster has been extensively studied at the behavioral and physiological level, very little is known about the central anatomy of the taste system.
