I've always liked the marshmallow experiment, but it turns out less clear than we may have thought.
If a child trusts the adult will be back shortly with marshmallow in tow, they may wait. But if adults in their lives are less predictable, they may reasonably choose to eat the marshmallow before the adult returns.
The marshmallow experiment may show that kids that can trust adults do better in life.
