Why we cite it

Brief communication providing early evidence that portion size sensitivity is developmental — present in 5-year-olds but absent in 3-year-olds. This informs the project's understanding of when environmental eating cues begin to override internal satiety signals, complementing the adult portion size literature (cpi04, cpi05).
