SELF SELECTION OF DIET BY NEWLY WEANED INFANTS: AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
Abstract
This experiment may be described briefly as that of (1) allowing newly weaned infants to choose their own foods in such quantities as they may desire from a fairly wide range of commonly used natural food materials, unmixed, unseasoned and unaltered except, in the case of some, by cooking in the simplest manner, and (2) assembling data on the food consumed and the condition of the infants. It was hoped by this experiment to obtain information on the following points: Whether infants of weaning age could and would when removed from the breast choose their own foods from those placed before them, without aid, as do adults, and in sufficient quantities to maintain themselves. If they did so choose, would they eat few or many of the large number of articles offered, and would they eat indiscriminately what was nearest at hand, governed only by their caloric needs

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
