The education and training of sensory scientists
1993
Lawless, H.
While little or no experimentation has been published on the methods of teaching sensory evaluation, different approaches can be identified and some common themes are widely used. This paper discusses various approaches to the training of sensory evaluation professionals and food scientists in general with examples from the author's courses at Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, USA. Concerns are identified in the areas of statistical training, the need for appreciation of multivariate statistical techniques and qualitative research. The paper proposes that teaching principles or heuristics is more empowering to students than memorization of standard procedures.
