Carmel Houston-Price is Professor of Language & Cognitive Development and Head of the School of Psychology & Clinical Language Sciences at the University of Reading. Her research examines how infants and young children learn about the world around them, and how the environment in which they are raised shapes what and how they learn. One strand of Carmel\u2019s research has established the powerful role of familiarity in determining children\u2019s food preferences \u2013 not only familiarity with a food\u2019s taste, but also with its appearance, its smell and feel, and its origins. Studies by her research group that have found that pre-schoolers eat more vegetables at mealtimes if they have had opportunities to look at and learn about the foods through picture books or hands-on activities beforehand. Carmel leads the EIT Food-funded See & Eat<\/i> project, which makes evidence-based resources available to parents and professionals who are seeking to encourage healthy eating in young children.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>
