Heard of this experiment? The original subjects were four-year-olds. A kid in a room has to sit in his chair. In front of him sits a plate with a marshmallow on top of it. The experimenter tells the kid that she has to leave. If the marshmallow is still on the plate when the kid returns, then he will get two marshmallows.
The experiment has been duplicated in the video below (although I doubt all of these kids are four years old).
Enjoy.

ReplyDeletei've read about this. apparently, the kids that wait are, on average, more successful in life!
Exactly. I showed that video in class today. Went over pretty well.
