Comparison of Effect of Repeated Exposure, Flavor-Flavor and Flavor-Nutrient Learning on Vegetable Acceptance in Infants

Comparison of the Effect of Repeated Exposure, Flavor-Flavor Learning and Flavor-Nutrient Learning on Vegetable Acceptance in Weaning Age Infants

This study aims at comparing learning mechanisms to increase vegetable acceptance in infants at complementary feeding, namely repeated exposure (RE), flavor-flavor learning (FFL) and flavor-nutrient learning (FNL); measuring the stability of the learning effect; and examining the impact of infants' feeding history on vegetable acceptance.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Healthy infants, aged between 4 and 8 months old, not yet introduced to complementary foods

Exclusion Criteria:

• Infants with food allergies, with chronic health problem, or born before 36 weeks of gestational age
