Positive flavour-flavour learning refers to a form of Pavlovian conditioning in which a neutral flavour is paired with an already preferred flavour. Due to this pairing one acquires an association between the neutral flavour and the liked flavour, resulting in a positive shift in liking and hence preference for the initially neutral flavour. In the present study, it was investigated whether a flavour-flavour learning procedure increases children's preference for a specific vegetable taste. Twenty one children were recruited and received six pairs of conditioning trials comprising the tasting of a sweetened vegetable and another unsweetened vegetable taste. At test the children had to evaluate the tastes unsweetened. Results show an increase in preference for the previously sweetened vegetable taste. It is concluded that flavour-flavour learning may be beneficial in increasing children's liking and acceptance of vegetables.
正向风味-风味学习指的是一种巴甫洛夫条件反射形式，其中一种中性风味与一种已受喜爱的风味配对。由于这种配对，人们在中性风味和喜爱的风味之间建立起联系，从而导致喜好发生正向变化，进而对最初的中性风味产生偏好。在本研究中，我们调查了风味-风味学习程序是否会增加儿童对特定蔬菜味道的偏好。招募了21名儿童，他们接受了六组条件反射试验，包括品尝一种加糖蔬菜和另一种不加糖的蔬菜味道。在测试中，孩子们必须对不加糖的味道进行评价。结果显示，对之前加糖蔬菜味道的偏好有所增加。研究得出结论，风味-风味学习可能有助于增加儿童对蔬菜的喜爱和接受程度。
