Question
Question 18 (1 point) Supplemental Article - Is Psychology a Science?/ Persistent Questions in Psychology What would a naive realist claim? My experience of a chocolate tasting sweet is not the same as yours. Whether or not a chocolate tastes sweet is all in my head. The sweetness of a chocolate is in the taster, not in the chocolate. When I taste a chocolate as sweet, the chocolate is in fact sweet.

Answer
naive realist would claim: **When I taste a chocolate as sweet, the chocolate is in fact sweet.**Naive realism asserts that our senses provide us with direct and accurate experience of the world exactly as it is. So, if something tastes sweet, a naive realist believes the sweetness is an objective property of the object itself, not a subjective interpretation.
