Children, ages 23-69 months were studied to provide information on possible age differences in the childrens' initial responses to novel foods and the effects of this exposure. The two types of exposure considered are "taste" (including vision, olfaction, and taste) and "look" (including vision and olfaction but not taste). Children made two types of choices, one based on looking, and one based on tasting the foods. Results indicated that increasing preference for novel foods with repeated exposure may be consistent with the mere exposure hypothesis; this hypothesis is based on observations of changes in affective reaction to visual, auditory and edible stimuli. Findings suggest that parents will not be able to increase their childrens' liking for the taste of unfamiliar foods by simply placing such foods on the table for repeated visual exposure.(rah)
