    "title": "Food Neophobia: a Barrier to The Development of Categorization and Executive Functions",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The majority of evidence on the relations between young children's levels of food neophobia (the fear of novel food), categorization abilities and executive functions is cross-sectional, leaving the direction of causality unclear. This study aimed to examine the bidirectional relations between children's food neophobia, categorization performance and strategies, and executive functions (working memory, inhibition and cognitive flexibility) longitudinally. Children (n = 113; M age = 48.30 months at Time 1) were assessed at two time points over the course of a year of schooling. Controlling for age, early levels of food neophobia significantly predicted lower subsequent categorization performance and executive functions. No significant evidence was found to support the reverse directionality; neither categorization performance, strategies, nor executive functions at Time 1 predicted subsequent levels of food neophobia. The findings provide longitudinal evidence that neophobia hinders the development of categorization and executive functions abilities.",
