Yesterday I posted a cute video of a bunch of kids attempting to resist the urge to eat a marshmallow during an experiment. The video posted yesterday was actually a remake of an experiment by Joachim de Posada that looks at delayed gratification in young kids and the link it has to how successful those kids will be when they become older.

Joachim de Posada found that most of the kids who resisted the urge to eat the marshmallow for 15 minutes while an adult left the room became successful in their later years while the same was not true for those kids who ended up eating the marshmallow right away.

You can watch the video in hi-res here.
