Schmidt, Hilary J.; Beauchamp, Gary K.
Child Development, v59 n4 p1136-43 Aug 1988
Studies 16 three-year-olds' and 17 adults' hedonic reactions to odorants by using a forced-choice procedure embedded in a simple game. Analyses revealed essentially the same pattern of preferences in both groups. In general, the odorant was a much better predictor of its hedonic quality than was the age of the subject. (RJC)
