Stanford Marshmallow experiment is known as the "Marshmallow Experiment" was made by a scientist named Walter Mischel. Mischel and a couple of colleagues were interested in strategies that preschool children used when it comes to treats. They used four-year olds and told them they have two options
- They could ring a bell at any point and summon the experimenter and earn a marshmallow
- Or they could wait for 15 minutes and get two marshmallows
A message to children: One small reward now, one large reward later. Some children broke down and ate the marshmallow, whereas some children tried some techniques to help pass the time such as covering there're eyes, singing songs, and sitting under the desks. Mischel found out that children could help to pass the time by using "cool" techniques.
It was good, it explained what it is. You could have done a bit more research into it and write as bit more about it.
ReplyDeleteGood research. Was this all written in your own words?
