Researchers Revisit Famous Stanford Marshmallow Test With Added Test of Reliability
The “Stanford Marshmallow Experiment” will probably go down as the cutest psychological test ever devised. Sit a child in a room with one marshmallow, telling them that they can have two when you come back if they don’t eat the first. It’s a test of “delayed gratification”. Here is a video of the original test in its adorable glory.
An updated version of the test added a test for how kids viewed the reliability of adults. When they were given reason not to trust the adults running the test, it seriously affected whether they ate the marshmallow. They may not be able to resist a delicious sugary treat, but kids are a pretty good judge of character.
