N°CNRS : UMR6265 Centre des Sciences du Goût et de l'Alimentation; Children's vegetable intake is below the recommended amounts. No studies to date have tested the relevance of using salt or spices to increase children's vegetable acceptance. Our objective was to compare the effect of repeated exposure (RE) and of flavor-flavor learning (FFL) on toddlers' acceptance of a nonfamiliar vegetable. Two unconditioned stimuli were used: salt and a salt-associated spice. Toddlers attending six nurseries were assigned to 3 groups in a between subject design. Groups were exposed 8 times to a basic salsify puree (0.2% salt w/w; RE group; n = 47), a salty salsify puree (0.5% salt w/w; FFL-Salt group; n…

Revue; Among the multiple transitions that characterize mammalian development, birth certainly is the most abrupt and spectacular. It is also the most challenging for newborns when one considers their high mortality rates in any mammalian species. Although evolution has selected newborn organisms that possess the physiological and behavioral keys leading to adapt to this harsh psychobiological challenge, their capabilities cannot be considered separately from the maternal organism and the environment she creates. Mammalian females provide indeed passive (physiological) and/or active (behavioral) assistance to complement and boost their offspring’s capacities. One notable strategy of mammali…
