Can Young Children Delay Gratification?
This clip shows an experiment that uses candy to investigate whether young children are able to delay gratification. A hidden camera confirms that most children are unable to overcome temptation in spite of a reward for delaying gratification. This inability is due to insufficient development in the brain area that allows children to resist temptation.
