Proposal:

A child acts without thinking just because he or she has no knowledge of whats right or wrong. Scientists state that from observing these meaningless actions that they can for tell something of actual meaning. In the Marshmallow test a child is given the choice to eat a trait now or to wait 15 mins for a another trait as well. Now this seems like a pointless action from the child but what actually occurs is something of relevance. Study shows that the child who waited actually had better grades,  better health, and was able to hold down their job later on in life. As for the children who ate the trait  were described as more unhealthy and were more addictive.

Secrets of self-control

Here the study starts to show the effects of the results appon the children later on in life. As result of the children who lacked the self-control to wait for the second marshmallow seemed to find themselves in state where they had very little ability to control their behavior or impulses. Two new testes were applied to grown adults 4o years later which showed the same results.

This information would help support the meaning of how crucial self-control is with this experiment. If i can show results 40 years later resembling the same traits in the now grown adults as they had once when they were young it is clearly seen how this test works to show self-control

The lesson behind the test

Here you can see the two main parts that are certainly measured in the child while he or she is being tested. The pure lesson here is to see how well the child can control themselves and if they can also control their impulse to eat the first treat. By being tested in these ways you can for tell how your child will act in certain ways such as in school for example where the child will have to have self-control to be able to sit down and do their homework, but also control of their impulses to get up and leave when brought appon distracted.

This information will be used  to help the audience grasp the whole meaning of the experiment. This will also help me to explain the meaning of self-control and controlling impulse as a lesson that can be of knowledge to help your child.

Delaying Gratification 

Here you see a third effect that comes into play during the experiment. Delaying gratification plays a role in some children mind that keeps them for eating the first treat so they can have two. Without delaying gratification more children would have chosen to eat the marshmallow at first simply with only  self-control some kids who have given in but this last key helps some stay on path.

Delaying gratification is a third key to this test that helps support the reasoning behind the results and meaning of the Marshmallow test. This will help me explain why some kids even with little self-control were able to with hold from eating the first treat.

Controlling impulses and making strategies

This also goes along with delaying gratification but with more steps. In the results of the marshmallow test a child makes strangers such as if they should wait this long then simply if not presented the second treat we can eat the first. ALong with a plan and delaying gratification it is easier to see more diverse results and the meaning behind them.

This can be used in my easy to help support the meaning of delaying  gratification and how it is used by children to attain their goals. It is seen in the results that if a strategy was made it didn’t always work but with delaying gratification helping the child it was a much higher percentage of children who waited for the second treat.

A new interpretation on the method 

This information shows that the marshmallow test might actually have a different meaning behind it. Scientists have given a similar version of this test to children but with a goal of seeing if it was trust that was issue behind the results.

With this information I can look at the Marshmallow test from a different perspective and analyze the results. Even though this second test is bogus to me it shows another side of the test which can help define the true meaning behind it.

What the Marshmallow test really shows about self-control

Here you gain more understanding that this experiment has to do with self-control but also with instant gratifies and high delayer. These are the categories the children were placed into after waiting or not waiting making the children who wait labeled high delayer and those who didn’t instant gratifies.

By having these two terms of high delayer and instant gratifies you see more in-depth the understanding of self-control. With children having to eat rather than wait and wait rather than eat.

Marshmallow Test for adults 

Here you seem more reasoning behind the results of the Marshmallow test but in a different version more for adults. You see how this simple test is put into everyday life for an adult such as if he or she is at work and the phone buzzes or if he or she should eat a snack as they go home for dinner. It’s simple things like this that the marshmallow test resembles for kids.

This information helps me realize to the audience what the point is for the actual results. Such as if the child can’t resist the treat now what is going to happen 40 years from now when he or she is tempted by another person to be unfaithful to their spouse.

Marshmallow test seeks reliability

Here you see another factor that seems to be tested in the Marshmallow experiment. This article sates that children who lived in a reliable community seems to wait longer than those who did not. This is a vital point that makes the audience look at the test different but even with this new spin the other factors of self-control and delaying gratification still play a role.

This information will help me look at the results of the experiment to see which is actually right. This article shows proof or reliability being measured but at the same time so are the traits from before. With this new information I can add to the meaning of the results of the Marshmallow test.

Is the Marshmallow test a fair study

In this article you seem to look at the test from a child point of view and see that 15 mins for a four-year old is like an eternity. Some children even cracked under 20 seconds of the study under going. So this article seems to look at the fact of children being to young to even the difference or the true ask of waiting if there is something already in their face.

This article certainly help me to take a step back and look at threw a new perspective. With this understanding of such a young mind it does seem to make me think that the child does not really know what is going but at the same time shows that self-control beings once you are born.

Different Meaning to Marshmallow Test

In this article you see other example such as trust, reliability, and the fact that if something is there now it might not be in a few mins. It shows tests done on kids who were in more unreliable community and places were things weren’t always given to them opposed to kids who were in better communities. Of course you see that certain kids eat the trait while others waited but different things were tested here.

This information helps me further gather more meaning to the results gathered by the marshmallow test and that maybe self-control and delayed gratification isn’t only tested. I can show meaning behind the fact that more things were certainly tested then what showed in the results.
