I believe the answer is: Classical conditioning.

Classical conditioning happen when an organism acquire a new behavior after biologically potent stimulus is paired with a previously neutral stimulus.

In the example above, Gavan's hunger during the meeting does not come because his body actually need the food, but because it has been conditioned to be filled everytime Gavan see or smell foods.
