Can marshmallows predict future success?

Give one child one marshmallow and tell them they can eat it now - or wait, and get an extra one. Then stand back and see what they do... The psychologist behind the test, Walter Mischel, found that it could predict a child's chances at future success!

Now Walter has written a book about his findings, The Marshmallow Test, in which he also explains self-control and how to master it. He joins Phillip and Amanda in studio to talk about the test, and we reveal what happened when we ran our own version of the test!
