Currently, there is a lack of research regarding how children categorize food, such as whether they categorize it by its origin (natural or human-made) or its function (e.g., edibility). In this study, children and adults identified where pictures of familiar and unfamiliar foods and non-foods came from, and results revealed both age groups use foods' function to determine its category membership.
