Many manipulations used in the study of feeding (e.g., changes of food taste or texture, anorectic drugs) affect the rate of food consumption. Consequent changes in meal patterning might reflect either direct effects of the manipulation or alternatively might result from indirect effects of the changed rate of intake. In the experiment reported here a direct reduction in the permitted rate of food intake resulted in a clear reduction of meal size and an increase in meal frequency in rats. We explore the extent to which this finding is predicted by quantitative models of the regulation of food intake.
许多用于进食研究的操作（例如，改变食物味道或质地、使用厌食药物）都会影响食物消耗的速率。进食模式随之发生的变化可能反映了操作的直接影响，或者也可能是由摄入量变化的间接影响导致的。在本文所报告的实验中，直接降低大鼠的允许进食速率会导致餐量明显减少，餐次增加。我们探讨了食物摄入调节的定量模型对这一发现的预测程度。
