The order in which children approached the foods on each plate also demonstrated their greater confidence in engaging with the pre- viously exposed foods; children touched and tasted the exposed foods before they touched and tasted the non-exposed foods. Chil- dren’s greater willingness to engage with the exposed foods was evident toward both fruits and vegetables on this measure; chil- dren touched the vegetable to which they had been exposed before the non-exposed vegetable on each plate, and they tasted the exposed fruit on each plate before the non-exposed fruit.
