The taste preference of pupils with mental and physical disorders was investigated and compared with that of normal children. An inquiry of the taste preference was made to 146 pupils in weak children's classes and 900 normal children as control in order to find the tendency of the preference toward sweet, sour, salty, and bitter tastes. Respondents were classified according to their age(from 6 to 11, 12 to 14, and 15 to 17 years of age) and kinds of disorders. Degrees and patterns of the taste preference were explicated by using Duncan's Multiple Range Test and Hayashi's Quantification Method III. In weak pupils ranging from 6 to 14 years of age, the degree of tastes was lower than that of normal children, while no difference was found in respondents aged 15 to 17. In the classification based on kinds of disorders, the degree of tastes of respondents was decreased in the order of the following: normal children > pupils of autism and of mental retardation > pulips with organic disorders(i.e. cerebral palsy and Down syndrome). The taste preference was also mutually related with kinds of disorders. Namely, pupils with organic disorders have a tendency to prefer sweet foods, while pupils of autism and mental retardation, and normal children to prefer sour and salty foods.
