Abstract
Pavlovian conditioning processes may contribute to some symptoms of mu ltiple chemical sensitivity (MCS). This review summarizes the potentia l relevance of the literature on conditional taste and olfactory avers ions, conditional sensitization, and conditional immunomodulation to u nderstanding MCS. A conditioning-based perspective on MCS suggests nov el research and treatment strategies.
