A follow-up study on the Stanford marshmallow experiment finds that the important factor was not self-control but whether the child could trust that the second marshmallow would appear. That is, environment and past experience has as much effect as innate quality. Note the important social justice implications. (via)

I still wanna know why the original experimenters seem to have assumed that all small children want marshmallows and would have had prior experience of marshmallows. Good to know about that second study.
