The marshmallow experiment is a famous test of this concept conducted by Walter Mischel at Stanford University and discussed by Daniel Goleman in his popular work. In the 1960s, a group of four-year olds were given a marshmallow and promised another, only if they could wait 20 minutes before eating the first one. Some children could wait and others could not. The researchers then followed the progress of each child into adolescence, and demonstrated that those with the ability to wait were better adjusted and more dependable (determined via surveys of their parents and teachers), and scored an average of 210 points higher on the Scholastic Aptitude Test.

I wonder if the children were provided with a walk clock. Small children don't have a well developed sense of the passage of time and that could affect their decision making process. Stuff like that has to be controlled for.
and look at the video "Marshmallow Temptation extended version", tauvydas23.
in this video we see few girls, but in the extended version there are more boys and girls, so u can see that both ate their marshmallows. Indeed, this test sucks, couse children are not stupid, they know its JUST a MARSHMALLOW, nothing else.
A lot of You guys have been asking about the results and insight of this test. And I think one of the aspects is VERY clear - the girls are already born WITHOUT simple mechanism of SELFCONTROL. Look at the guys - although the are very impatient, but they all wait until the end and DO NOT BREACH THE RULES OF A FAIR PLAY. Whereas first one to take a bite from the thing - is a girl. It's unbelievable, that b..tches simply don't have any selfcontrol mechanism and it appears to be programmed in their
