The Marshmallow Test
| 4 minutes |
Steve V, a video producer from Kitchener, Ontario, replicates the marshmallow test. An experiment in kids ability to sacrifice short-term gratification for long-term rewards, the marsh mallow experiment is interestingly academically just as it is fun to watch kids struggle with waiting the fully 20 minutes for their reward. In terms of relevance, if the child can resist the instant gratification, there is a very good chance they will be successful in life. For more details of the original landmark experiment, watch Joachim de Posada’s TED talk.
