How does taste influence food preferences and food intake in early childhood?
2012
Humans are born with very few flavor preference. The most consistent observations concern taste: newborns exhibit an early attraction for the sweet taste, in opposition to the avoidance of the bitter taste. Odor preferences are less obvious and are generally related to prenatal learning and/or have biological relevance (Schaal, 2006). The objectives of this presentation will be to describe the early taste preference, how they evolve in early infancy (Schwartz, Issanchou, & Nicklaus, 2009), and how the taste of the foods or the individual attraction toward tastes might influence food preference in infancy (Schwartz, Chabanet, Lange, Issanchou, & Nicklaus, 2011), as well as food intake in ear…

Chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in preschool children: impact of smell, but not of taste
2014
Context and objective: Recent studies suggested that sensory sensitivity could be linked to food neophobia, described as the reluctance to eat, or the avoidance of, new foods. The objective of the present study was twofold. Firstly, this study aimed at assessing the links between smell reactivity and taste reactivity in children. Secondly, this study assessed the links between children’s smell/taste reactivity and food neophobia. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of the child, the more the child is neophobic. Method: One hundred and three dyads of mother-child, from the Opaline cohort, were involved. The child’s food neophobia was assessed using a validated pare…
Smell but not taste reactivity is related to food neophobia in toddlers: results from the Opaline cohort
2014
National audience; Context and objective: Research has previously identified relationships between chemosensory reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. However, most studies have addressed this question using declarative data, and without analyzing separately smell and taste. The objective of the present study was twofold. The first objective was to assess the relationships between olfactory reactivity and taste reactivity in toddlers, using experimental designs with different tastants and odorants. The second objective was to determine the relationships between olfactory /taste reactivity and food neophobia in toddlers. The hypothesis was that the higher the chemosensory reactivity of t…
Cyberagresja jako zjawisko zagrażające bezpieczeństwu cyfrowemu dzieci i młodzieży
2019
Artykuł dotyczy rozważań nad zjawiskiem cyberagresji w kontekście zagrożenia bezpieczeństwa cyfrowego dzieci i młodzieży. Jest to problem, którego muszą być świadome wszystkie osoby korzystające z internetu, w tym nauczyciele, aby mogli skutecznie realizować działania zwiększające kompetencje cyfrowe młodego pokolenia. Głównym celem opracowania było przedstawienie skali zjawiska cyberagresji oraz zaprezentowanie badań dotyczących świadomości występowania tego problemu wśród nauczycieli szkół gimnazjalnych z terenu miasta Opole.
Parental Trust in Teachers and Children’s Interest in Reading and Math: A Longitudinal Study
2021
This study investigated cross-lagged associations between parental trust in a child’s teacher and children’s academic interest across Grades 1–4 in primary school. Parents rated trust in their child’s teacher, and 576 children reported their interest in reading and math at each grade. The results showed that high parental trust in a child’s teacher predicted the child’s high interest in math. In addition, the child’s high interest in reading in Grade 2 was related to the father’s subsequent trust in the teacher. peerReviewed

School climate as predictor of teachers’ competences to recognize the educational needs of adopted children in Italy
2019
The current study examines the association between different components of school climate (teacher-principal and teacher-parent relationships, parents’ involvement in school activities, connection between school and the local services) and teachers’ competences and knowledge regarding the adoption experience. Participants were 573 teachers (95.7% women; mean age= 47.06, SD= 8.66, ranging between 25 and 65) residing in three Italian regions characterized by rates of international adoptions that are higher than the national average. The association between school climate and teachers’ knowledge and competences on adoption was evaluated via independent multiple logistic regression analyses. Fi…
Device-based physical activity levels among Finnish adolescents with functional limitations
2019
Background Monitoring physical activity among young adolescents with disabilities is a top academic priority. People with disabilities are a diverse group with various abilities in different human functioning. Therefore, we used a novel approach through functional limitations as a marker for disabilities and examined physical activity levels. Objective To investigate the levels and differences in light (LPA) and moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) intensity physical activity between young adolescents with and without functional limitations. Methods The study included young adolescents (n = 1436) aged 11–15 years olds who attended general schools that were part of the 2016 Finnish School-aged Physic…
Children's involvement in the design of game-based learning environments

Osallistuminen teknologian suunnitteluun tarjoaa lapsille arvokkaita kokemuksia. Tilaisuus päästä ottamaan osaa todellisen sovelluksen kehittämiseen kiinnostaa ja motivoi lapsia sekä toimii myös monenlaisten taitojen oppimistilanteena, Tuula Nousiainen kertoo. Lasten osallistuminen osoittautui tärkeäksi myös kehittäjille, jotka paitsi saivat lapsilta runsaasti ideoita, myös kokivat lasten kanssa toimimisen motivoineen työskentelyään.Nousiainen tutki kahta oppimispelisovelluksen suunnitteluprojektia, jotka toteutettiin yhdessä koululuokkien kanssa. Tavoitteena oli tutkia ja kehittää toimintatapoja lapsilähtöiseen teknologian suunnitteluun. Tutkimuksessa muodostettiin monitieteinen lapsilähtö…
