In the Marshmallow Test, researchers left four-year-old children alone in a room with a marshmallow. If the children managed to ____ temptation and not eat the marshmallow, the researcher promised them a reward of two marshmallows. However, most of the children found it difficult to ____ patient and ____ in before the time was up. They ____ to have something immediately rather than ____ for what they really wanted. The researchers found that, as adults, those children who could ____ to the challenge were generally much more successful than the others. The best technique was to ____ thinking about the marshmallow at all. The successful children ____ with the problem by looking away or covering their eyes. If they didn't think about the marshmallow, they didn't have to ____ an effort not to eat it.When Moschel taught a different set of children this technique nearly all the children ____ waiting the full time. Learning these techniques can help in adult life because being able to wait helps us make the right choices.
