increasing pre school Children s liking for a novel vegetable a comparison of flavour flavour learning and repeated exposure
Appetite, 2013Co-Authors: Sara M. Ahern, Pam Blundell, Samantha J. Caton, Marion M. HetheringtonAbstract:Most UK Children do not consume the recommended amounts of fruits and vegetables, with intake of vegetables particularly low. Many Children dislike vegetables and so strategies have been used to improve liking for vegetables in Children to promote intake. The current study examined the effectiveness of flavour flavour learning and repeated exposure to increase intake of vegetables in Pre-School Children. Children aged 12–60 months (N = 33) were recruited through nurseries and given 8 exposures to a root vegetable puree with added apple puree (FFL) and another root vegetable puree with nothing added (RE) on separate days over 5 weeks. A third root vegetable puree acted as a control. Intake of unadulterated forms of all three purees was measured on separate days pre and post intervention. Intake was also measured after each exposure. Preliminary analysis of data (N = 22) demonstrates a significant trend of increased intake of vegetable purees post intervention in all three conditions (p = .001) with no significant effect of condition on magnitude of change. No effect of condition was found on intake across exposures while results suggest a significant effect of number of exposures. A significant time x age group interaction revealed greater intake of vegetable puree by younger (12–24 m) Children overall post-intervention. Results suggest that flavour flavour learning confers no added benefit to simple repeated exposure in increasing vegetable intake in Pre-School Children and that effects can generalize to other similar foods. Simple strategies to improve liking by adding apple sauce seem unnecessary, and familiarity through repeated exposure is sufficient to increase acceptance.

Repetition counts: repeated exposure increases intake of a novel vegetable in UK Pre-School Children compared to flavour-flavour and flavour-nutrient learning
British Journal of Nutrition, 2013Co-Authors: Samantha J. Caton, Eloïse Remy, Pam Blundell, Sara M. Ahern, Sophie Nicklaus, Marion M. HetheringtonAbstract:Children are not consuming sufficient amounts of fruits and vegetables in their habitual diet. Methods derived from associative learning theories could be effective at promoting vegetable intake in Pre-School Children. The objective of the present study was to compare the effectiveness of different learning strategies in promoting the intake of a novel vegetable. Children aged between 9 and 38 months were recruited from UK nurseries. The Children (n 72) were randomly assigned to one of three conditions (repeated exposure, flavour–flavour learning or flavour–nutrient learning). Each child was offered ten exposures to their respective version of a novel vegetable (artichoke). Pre- and post-intervention measures of artichoke purée and carrot purée (control vegetable) intake were taken. At pre-intervention, carrot intake was significantly higher than artichoke intake (P< 0·05). Intake of both vegetables increased over time (P< 0·001); however, when changes in intake were investigated, artichoke intake increased significantly more than carrot intake (P< 0·001). Artichoke intake increased to the same extent in all three conditions, and this effect was persistent up to 5 weeks post-intervention. Five exposures were sufficient to increase intake compared to the first exposure (P< 0·001). Repeated exposure to three variants of a novel vegetable was sufficient to increase intake of this vegetable, regardless of the addition of a familiar taste or energy. Repetition is therefore a critical factor for promoting novel vegetable intake in Pre-School Children.

Vegetable intake and liking in Pre-School Children. A cross cultural comparison of three European countries
2012Co-Authors: Sara M. Ahern, Hélène Hausner, Sofia Bouhlal, Sophie Nicklaus, Samantha J. Caton, A. Olsen, Per Møller, Marion M. HetheringtonAbstract:Children’s liking of a food is a strong predictor of intake and early exposure to a variety of vegetable flavours appears to be important in promoting higher levels of vegetable liking and acceptance later in life. The current study examines Pre-School Children’s familiarity and liking for different vegetables in the UK and draws comparisons between UK Children and those in Denmark and France. A sample of mothers of Pre-School Children (N = 234) in the UK (N = 71), Denmark (N = 93) and France (N = 70) completed a survey assessing parental and infant familiarity with, intake of and liking for 56 vegetables. Children’s liking for vegetables was found to be significantly related to both how frequently mothers consumed those vegetables and how often they were offered to the child. Denmark was recorded as having introduced the greatest number of vegetables to Children who consumed these vegetables significantly more frequently than those in the UK and France. Children aged 25–36 months had been introduced to the greatest number of vegetables (p < 0.01) while Children aged 6–12 months consumed vegetables most frequently and had a higher reported liking for these vegetables (p < 0.01). Children in all three countries received a limited and very similar range of vegetables. Increasing the variety of vegetables young Children are offered and the frequency with which they are offered may serve to increase vegetable liking and consumption in the long term.
