The objective of this study was to develop a new elaborate method to evaluate infants' liking of foods that could be applied at home and to compare the results of this elaborate method with those of a basic method. Mothers of infants aged 4 to 7 (n = 44) and 12-15 months (n = 46) participated in this study. For the basic method, mothers were asked to assess their infant's global liking at the end of a meal. Then, for the elaborate method, mothers received detailed instructions on how to feed their infant, how infants might express like/dislike and when to stop the meal. During the first nine spoons, they were asked to report the presence/absence of positive and negative behaviours after each spoon, and the infant's initial liking was reported after each triplet of spoons. They also assessed their infant's global liking at the end of the meal. Both methods were applied using three commercial familiar baby foods adapted to each age range. In 4-7-month-olds, the elaborate method showed a significant difference across products for liking, whereas the basic method did not show any difference. In 12-15-month-olds, the elaborate method showed more differences across products for liking than the basic method. In both age groups, negative behaviours, despite being less frequently reported, provided better liking discrimination than positive behaviours. In conclusion, the elaborate method produced better product liking discrimination than the basic method by focusing maternal attention on infants' eating behaviours since the first spoons.
本研究的目的是开发一种新的精细方法来评估婴儿对食物的喜好，该方法可在家中应用，并将这种精细方法的结果与基本方法的结果进行比较。4至7岁（n = 44）和12至15个月（n = 46）婴儿的母亲参与了本研究。对于基本方法，要求母亲在一餐结束时评估其婴儿的整体喜好。然后，对于精细方法，母亲们收到了关于如何喂养婴儿、婴儿可能如何表达喜欢/不喜欢以及何时停止进餐的详细说明。在前九勺喂食过程中，要求她们在每勺之后报告积极和消极行为的有无，并在每三组勺子之后报告婴儿最初的喜好。她们还在一餐结束时评估了婴儿的整体喜好。两种方法都使用了三种适合每个年龄范围的市售常见婴儿食品。在4至7个月大的婴儿中，精细方法显示出不同产品在喜好方面存在显著差异，而基本方法没有显示出任何差异。在12至15个月大的婴儿中，精细方法显示出不同产品在喜好方面的差异比基本方法更多。在两个年龄组中，消极行为尽管报告频率较低，但比积极行为提供了更好的喜好区分度。总之，精细方法通过从第一勺开始就将母亲的注意力集中在婴儿的进食行为上，比基本方法产生了更好的产品喜好区分度。
