Heleft a group of 4-year-olds in a room with a bell and a candy. If they rang thebell, he would come back and they could eat the candy. If, however, they didn’tring the bell and waited for him to come back on his own, they could then havetwo candies.In the videos of the experiments, he can see thechildren hiding their eyes, trying to exercise self-control so they can waitand get two candies. The results are different. Some broke down and rang the bell within a minute. Others lasted15 minutes.The children who waited longer went on to gethigher academic scores. They got into better colleges and had better adultsuccess. The children who rang the bell quickest were more likely to havereceived worse teacher and parental evaluations 10 years later and weremore likely to have drug problems at age 32.The experiments are worth noting because peoplespend a lot of time thinking about how to improve education, and how to becomerich.
