食物的视觉特征和其他人的证词是儿童在选择食物时的重要线索。孩子们必须整合这两种形式的信息来做出关于食物的选择。本研究调查了当这两个线索同时出现时儿童的食物选择。在确认4-6岁的儿童（N= 32）不喜欢视觉上不熟悉的食物（实验1）后，实验2调查了关于味道或健康的积极证据是否会影响儿童对视觉上不熟悉的食物的选择。更具体地说，孩子们从成人和同龄人那里听到的证词是，视觉上不熟悉的食物要么好吃（味觉证词条件，n= 24），要么对你有好处（健康证词条件，n= 24）。然后，他们被问到是否会选择吃成人或同龄人推荐的视觉上不熟悉的食物。在没有证词的条件下，儿童（n= 24）被要求选择的食物没有听到证词的视觉陌生的食物。关于食物味道的证词鼓励儿童选择视觉上不熟悉的食物;同龄人关于食物味道的证词对儿童选择视觉上不熟悉的食物的影响比成人的证词更大。然而，健康的证词并没有促进选择视觉上不熟悉的食物，无论是从成年人或同龄人。为什么不同类型和来源的证词有不同程度的影响，儿童的视觉不熟悉的食物的选择进行了讨论。
A food’s visual features and testimony from others are important clues for children when making food choices. Children must integrate these two forms of information to make choices about food. The present study investigated children’s food choices when these two clues are presented together. After confirming that children between the ages of 4–6 years (N= 32) did not prefer visually unfamiliar foods (Experiment 1), Experiment 2 investigated whether positive testimony about the taste or healthiness would influence children’s choices about visually unfamiliar foods. More specifically, children heard testimony from adults and peers that visually unfamiliar foods were either tasty (taste testimony condition,n= 24) or good for you (health testimony condition,n= 24). Then, they were asked whether they would choose to eat the visually unfamiliar foods which were recommended by an adult or a peer. In the no testimony condition, children (n= 24) were asked to choose the foods without hearing testimony about visually unfamiliar foods. Testimony about a food’s taste encouraged children to choose visually unfamiliar foods; peers’ testimony regarding a food’s taste had a stronger influence on children’s selection of visually unfamiliar foods than testimony from adults. However, health testimony did not facilitate choosing visually unfamiliar foods, regardless of whether from an adult or a peer. Why different types and sources of testimony had various degrees of influence on children’s selection of visually unfamiliar foods was discussed.
