The Marshmallow Test: an Experiment in Self Control
I thought this was an interesting video and idea. The experiment shown is about more than just self control. The idea is "We can’t control the world, but we can control how we think about it.” This nicely fits into what we were talking about in class on tuesday about plasticity and changing the way we think about the world. The link explains a little more about the experiment.
Oh my gosh, that was soooo hilarious. My mom and I were cracking up the whole time, especially at the boy who smacks himself in the head after he almost gives in :P Great find, Aaron!
There have also been connections to intelligence and delayed gratification. Think about that the next time your cell phone vibrates with a text message during class and you risk detention to check it immediately.
