- Abstract
Food preference assessments have been used in the assessment and treatment of pediatric feeding disorders for a variety of reasons. However, descriptions of food preference assessments in the general literature were originally implemented with children without feeding problems, and therefore may require clarifications and modifications when used with children who exhibit inappropriate mealtime behavior when foods are presented. We reviewed studies published in peer-reviewed journals to identify current descriptions for food preference assessments with children who have feeding disorders. Overall, we found that clear technological descriptions of procedures used were generally absent. As a result, we discuss the importance of, and need for, refining operational definitions and technological descriptions of food preference assessments in the feeding literature, as well as suggestions on how to do so.
