[quote=Anonymous]Not to worry. Psychology is undergoing a crisis right. The marshmellow test -- along with many other famous studies -- has been discredited in terms of revealing anything but a love of sugar. From the Guardian recently in an article entitled "Famed impulse control 'marshmallow test' fails in new research:" The “marshmallow test” has intrigued a generation of parents and educationalists with its promise that a young child’s willpower and self-control holds a key to their success in later life. But there is some good news for parents of pre-schoolers whose impulse control is nonexistent: the latest research suggests the claims of the marshmallow test are close to being a fluffy confection. https://www.theguardian.com/education/2018/jun/01/famed-impulse-control-marshmallow-test-fails-in-new-research[/quote]
