This theory organizes the psychologist's events and classifies stimulus-response functions through qualitative analysis. For this reason, the purpose of the present document is to approach the feeding behavior transition processes detailing the five psychological functions proposed by Behavior Theory. The target was to characterize the behavioral changes of feeding practices in diet transition that were explained through biological and cultural factors traditionally. The analysis was organized until way that feeding systems dimensions were distinguished to respect to the psychological functions proposed by Ribes and López in 1985.
