The Marshmallow Test

[fortunekitten6]

These kids are greedy... and stupid... and ugly... AND SERIOUSLY ANNOYING!!

[RadicalServant101]

i already done this test. it's kinda hard but i resist it. yehey....

[gyurxi551]

what is marshmallow?! :)

[aprilx06]

I know how it feels.even 1 marshmallow is really hard to resist

[mdonato7]

With 2 kids in the room: split 1 marshmallow in half, each eat half. acquire 2nd marshmallow. each eat 1. 1.5 marshmallows each, instant gratification.

[kasper49064]

1:20 !! HAHHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAAHHAHAHA­HAAHHA

[srvwannabe0892]

lol the ginger is retarded

[AnonymousGamingPVR]

can we have your permission to remake this video please?

[TheDenijar]

Lol, poor kids

[MetallianUnlimited]

The ending shouldv been "ok now you can eat both... or you can wait and ill give you another 2" *trollface*

[MixtapeMessiah92]

@MetallianUnlimited LMAO picturing the troll face...

[calgalchic]

I love the little kid who actually waited. He was probably the only one

[LordCorinth]

sad how we torment ourselves for the supposed promise of something in the near future. sure it worked out but what if the bitty came back in and took the 1st mallow?

they didnt show the lil girl but it appears none of the kids thought to ever step out and go find more, they just wait and wait, like lil sheep. could there be a connection between that lethargic upbringing and becoming drones in adult life? heh

[BubblyHannah1698]

i loved how the little girl at the end ate it straight away and went to get another one

[DracoandHermionexxx]

the little girl didn't even wait until the lady left the room so cute :)

[Stickpop490]

it's not worth it. sitting there doing nothing staring at a marshmallow for an hour? just for two marshmallows? Not worth it...

[TheEchoPhoenix]

the suspense of when she would come back was killing me Dx

[kingofnamibia]

OMG... I love it how the little girls just start eating it immediately *lol*

[KissCherriez]

of course, the ginger eats it lol

[yogakittyfly]

Awww! Poor kids! XD

[therabidpancake]

Totally doing this to my child once I have one.

[MegaMustufa]

@therabidpancake gotta make some sperm

[Annabellp98]

Awh, props to the boy in the rainbow shirt for not eating it. lol

[mazliska]

Chudinky malinky



[DeadEnd1986]

1:30 she's so beautiful

[kursdragon]

@DeadEnd1986 I'm pretty sure beautiful isnt really an appropriate term for a 25 year old to call a 5 or 6 year old girl....

[ABC123starr]

omg this video is too funny !

[DannyTags444]

i dont get it, this was stupid

[snasty99]

@DannyTags444 you're stupid for not getting the simple concept lmao

[EarExplode]

@DannyTags444 You may read the description. :)

[he6re6je6]

3:16 "daaaaamn this was good...  lets clean this shit up"

[he6re6je6]

2:26 "mmm... naaa i don't think she'll notice... lets put it back"

[silentglaceon]

@he6re6je6 ahahahaha i know right!! that part made me laugh the most > <

[TiddlyDots]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hahahahahahah so funny! lol

[Niceo11111]

[lucols5]

[Jennifersheehan91]

Lol to the kid that kisses the marshmellow...hilarious

[Zaoozas]

readhead: ''sorry what did you say, i was too busy having free stuff''

[skatershick101]

Lmfao at the kid at 0:45 he was like "should I eat...or should i not.." haha and the kid at 1:11 was like "let me just touch it and i'm good.." haha that's funny

[carrots667]

2:40 best part of the video

[pabanil]

Haha! I love kids! I want to have a sister!

[zedtweetie]

[roeguen]

@ILOVEJERSEYSHOREALOT A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush ;)

[neoides]

Ginger had no soul and ate it right away



[HyperComplexPhoenix]

HAHAHA IT SMELL YUMMY DAMN CUTE !!!

[Deathsiren]

That's why I hate fucking kids.

[conchrepublic1828]

@Deathsiren Also its illegal...

[kwakutheghanaian]

@conchrepublic1828 hahahahahaha, i think he didnt mean that

[charlotte10star]

At least the ginger was trained to pick her plates up after she has eaten ...

[trollwarlord3]

2:25 LAUGH OUT LOUD!

[SpongeDude8]

Her: Ok 1 marshmallow for you, if you w8.......

Me: *nomnomnomnom* *gulp* can i have anotha piece of this bullshitet?

[beigekitten89]

hmm i think ill have done waht the boy did at the end...put both in my mouth at the same time...MUAHAHAH thats what happends wen i wait

[ikurasake]

There's some confounding... the kids may have had drastically varying levels of hunger before the test started, among many other variables.

[MysteriousStealthMan]

if it was steak... holy shit man. putting food in your face for 20 minutes in a room with nothing in it. that would suck1

[carlyfeifei]

<3 2.56

[thedorkinabubble]

I think the little girl at 1:57 didn't understand...

[snyx17]

Parece cuando los hombres esperamos por sexo, ponemos las mismas caras jaja

[MrNickJacob]

2:27 KILLED me. Bwahahaha.

[BlueBloodW0lf]

pause @ 02:25 the little girl is thinking "she won't notice!"

[nylg13]

i keep repeating 2:27-2:33! kyaa. that kid is just so cute trying his best to resist the temptation! <3 ahaha.

[gourdbox]

This is how Portal 3 starts.

[paveldps]

Будет забавно провести такой эксперимент с русским и бутылкой водки. Русские все алкаши поголовно же.

[CrazyVombat]

@paveldps а можно взять каталического священника и оставить вместе с одним из детей. или взять двух евреев, бросить им монетку и посмотреть как они будут драться до смерти (с) Ахмед, мертвый террорист.

я русский, и я не пью. а вы, батенька, простите, дебил :(

[DoctorVemo]

Главное, чтобы это были дети НЕ из нашего района!! (с)

[saote123]

The blonde boy at 2:56 is soo cute ^^

[novikmmx]

Как можно так издеваться над детьми??? :(((

[juneflower7]

watch "Continue in Patience" by Mormon Messages on Youtube, to learn a little more about the "marshmallow test" and it's purpose.

[Boogy21]

Now guess which kid has no soul...

[ArsentyevAndrey]

[Jakovian12345]

[kathrynlambkin]

sweet irresistable sugar. they wouldn't have had any temptation problems with a carrot.

[hun45ter12]

*rubs for head twice*

[sagekyuubi]

The twins should've fought to the death and the winner got the other marshmallow

[pichipelon]

@thesir27 this was a test done to show at what point in our lives does self control set in

[3QaRa]

awwwww all kids were cute but the kid that got 2 in the end was sooooo adorable

[MaliaKelly]

My mom did this when she was young, and when asked why she waited, she replied "I have to get one for my baby brother Richard!" The woman didn't count her because her reply opened "A whole new psychological door" xD

[mermaidsrsocool12]

its weaaird how the kid kisses it lol!!!!!!!!! lol he stufs them in his mouth

[fuckminimalism]

Anybody knows how the song looping on the background is called? Please??

[MsMyMy98]

so funny just saw this at church

[thsisQuinn04]

They're so CUTE :))

[eran5005]

@ILOVEJERSEYSHOREALOT Cause gingers have no souls!! XD

[xNinaPx]

That little ginger girl picks up her plate and she's like: I'm gonna tell her that I've lost mine!

[iBogNuts]

The cute blonde kid in the green shirt looked like he was going through torture

[Ricardo3444]

The guy at 2:26 FTW, Resistance!!!

[fbdarkangel]

wow those kids showed some great self-restraint!

[thesir27]

What a shitty thing to do to a bunch of kids. I'm glad the last girl was like "Fuck this" and started eating it before the lady even left. I hate it when adults expect a certain reaction out of kids so they set up something "cute" like this.

[xparty]

@thesir27

It's a test on a cognitive bias called Hyperbolic discounting. It's perfectly valid, and while 'cute', it's performed on children rather than adults as it is far easier to get a 'pure' result on it. To recreate the test with adult subjects, you would need far more elaborate conditions and hooks

en.wikipedia . org/wiki/Cognitive_bias

en.wikipedia . org/wiki/List_of_cognitive_bia­ses

en.wikipedia . org/wiki/Hyperbolic_discountin­g

[Erinyes]

@thesir27 It's not to set up something "cute." Obviously for scientific reasons.

[thesir27]

@Erinyes Yeah, about as scientific as a baking soda volcano

[natipani]

So funny one of the kids picks off of his marshmellow and pertends he didnt

[RainyDaysDownUnder]

I like the kid who slapped himself when he was tempted..lol

[Deathsiren]

@RainyDaysDownUnder I wish they slapped themselves to death

[MrHorus42]

@Deathsiren wtf is wrong with u oO

[Deathsiren]

@MrHorus42 What is wrong with those kids?

[mbraun6888]

lol at the ginger kid who started eating AS the deal was getting explained to her

[biteapple1999]

Why would Yeng send me here?

[iMASe20]

[aimicute]

THEY ARE SO CUTE OMG I loved the two boys who just try to diver their attention to other things and I really like it when one kid is really tempted but stops himself haha

[gchiale]

[A4L1000]

[TheMilune]

@ryandivine

Wikipedia says that "after this test, reporters studied kid's developmental progress into adolescence, and reported that children able to wait delay gratification were psychologically better adjusted, more dependable persons and, as high school student, scored significantly greater in the collegiate Scholastic Aptitude Test"

Does it answer to your question?

[LuvableDork]
