The results of these experiments indicate that, contrary to popular belief, individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome demonstrate definite food preferences. These data are consistent with and extend recent findings of Caldwell & Taylor (1983). The general conclusions are that the foods preferred by most individuals with Prader-Willi syndrome are sweet, and that the strength of the food preference is related to the level of cognitive ability (the higher the cognitive level, the stronger the preference). A comparison of the food preferences of an obese, non-Prader-Willi group with similar cognitive deficiencies would be worthy of empirical investigation.
这些实验结果表明，与普遍看法相反，普拉德-威利综合征患者表现出明确的食物偏好。这些数据与考德威尔和泰勒（1983年）最近的研究结果一致，并对其进行了扩展。总体结论是，大多数普拉德-威利综合征患者偏好的食物是甜食，而且食物偏好的强度与认知能力水平相关（认知水平越高，偏好越强）。对具有类似认知缺陷的肥胖非普拉德-威利综合征患者组的食物偏好进行比较，将值得进行实证研究。
