An interventional study of Classic liking assessment and Dynamic liking assessment in Eating Behaviors, sponsored by Cornell University. Not yet recruiting. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 60 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-20.
Sponsored by Cornell University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Basic science
This study will validate a novel measure of continuous assessment of liking as a meal is consumed. The study will additionally investigate how changes in liking of a food as it is consumed is associated with energy intake, appetite, body composition, and other individual differences.
243 studies on the registry are indexed under Feeding Behavior; 101 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 80 is close to the median of 80 across 181 interventional studies indexed under Feeding Behavior.

Change in food intake
Weight (grams) of the food consumed
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in liking
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all (0 mm) to extremely (100 mm). This will be used to calculate the magnitude of change in liking from before to after the meal.
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2
Change in energy intake
Energy (kcal) of the food consumed
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in water intake
Weight (grams) of water consumed
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in meal duration
Duration of the meal in minutes
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in eating rate
Mean food intake per minute (grams/minute), calculated by dividing meal food intake by meal duration
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in sip count
The number of sips of water during the meal
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in bite count
The number of bites of food during the meal
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in bite size
Mean grams of food consumed per bite, calculated by dividing meal food intake by number of bites
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in switching between bites and sips
The number of switches between bites and sips during the meal
Time frame: Weeks 1, 2
Change in rating of thirst
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all thirsty (0 mm) to extremely thirsty (100 mm)
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2
Change in rating of hunger
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all hungry (0 mm) to extremely hungry (100 mm)
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2
Change in rating of nausea
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all nauseated (0 mm) to extremely nauseated (100 mm)
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2
Change in rating of fullness
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from not at all full (0 mm) to extremely full (100 mm)
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2
Change in rating of prospective consumption
Measured on a 100-mm visual analogue scale ranging from nothing at all (0 mm) to a large amount (100 mm), in answer to "How much food do you think you could eat right now?".
Time frame: From before the test meal to after the test meal in weeks 1, 2

Start is estimated for Oct 2026; primary completion for Jul 2027, 8 months later.
Of 145 non-industry interventional studies with no phase under Feeding Behavior, half reached primary completion within 27 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 48. This study's planned 8 months is below that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 146 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 7 and three quarters within 48.
