Knight, Kathy B.; Bomba, Anne K.
Early Child Development and Care, v88 p17-21 1993
Observed 19 preschool children at lunch for 20 days to determine the effects of imposed silence at lunch on the amount of food consumed during meals in a nursery school setting. Found that imposing silence during mealtime did not increase food consumption but did foster a stressful atmosphere. (MM)
