Some months ago we looked at the famous Marshmallow Test in the 1960s and the follow-up on the kids involved 40 years on. If the child does not eat the marshmallow while sitting alone in a room, they will get a second one as a reward. Is it worth the wait?
Here's a couple of videos (reenactments?) I just found of some of the kids:
The kids who did not fall to temptation did better later in life, on average scoring 210 points more than those who did on the SAT. Does this mean self-control is a predictor of success?
This is one test you may like to try at home!
