Abstract
By making children, either in groups or under the influence of a story, choose certain foods, there can be set up a high degree of social suggestion in the direction of imitating actual or imaginary predecessors. This social influence is dependent upon group formation, identification, and prestige. The influence tends to survive the original social situation, but declines with the passage of time. It is probable though not certain that, despite the somewhat ephemeral conditions of the experiments, influence came to affect the sensory qualities of the food.
