In this study tongue movements of 103 normal 5-, 6-, 7-, and 8-year-old children were measured and compared. The 5-year-olds were compared with children of an earlier study and data were combined for 2- to 8-year-old children. Two different tongue positions were measured as three standard textures of food were presented: first, the position of the tongue as the food was 5 cm away from the lips, and second, the position of the tongue or other oral characteristics as the food was swallowed. For the anticipation of food a significant age-texture (p less than .001) as well as an age-sex-texture interaction was noted (p less than .035). For swallowing, significant age (p less than .0001), texture (p less than .0001), and sex-age interactions (p less than .0001) were found. Although food is anticipated in a similar fashion by both sexes, age and texture differences must be taken into account when swallowing is evaluated. A preliminary developmental curve for the two eating behaviors is presented for children 2 to 8 years old.
在本研究中，对103名5岁、6岁、7岁和8岁正常儿童的舌运动进行了测量和比较。将5岁儿童与一项早期研究中的儿童进行比较，并汇总了2至8岁儿童的数据。当呈现三种标准质地的食物时，测量了两种不同的舌位置：第一，食物距离嘴唇5厘米时的舌位置；第二，食物吞咽时的舌位置或其他口腔特征。对于食物预期，观察到显著的年龄-质地（p<0.001）以及年龄-性别-质地交互作用（p<0.035）。对于吞咽，发现了显著的年龄（p<0.0001）、质地（p<0.0001）和性别-年龄交互作用（p<0.0001）。尽管两性对食物的预期方式相似，但在评估吞咽时必须考虑年龄和质地差异。给出了2至8岁儿童两种进食行为的初步发育曲线。
