Preschoolers' delay of gratification predicts their body mass 30 years later.
OBJECTIVE To assess whether preschoolers' performance on a delay of gratification task would predict their body mass index (BMI) 30 years later. STUDY DESIGN In the late 1960s/early 1970s, 4-year-olds from a university-affiliated preschool completed the classic delay of gratification task.

متن کامل2D:4D Digit Ratio Predicts Delay of Gratification in Preschoolers
We replicate the Stanford marshmallow experiment with a sample of 141 preschoolers and find a correlation between lack of self-control and 2D:4D digit ratio. Children with low 2D:4D digit ratio are less likely to delay gratification. Low 2D:4D digit ratio may indicate high fetal testosterone. If this hypothesis is true, our finding means high fetal testosterone children are less likely to delay...

We examined the neural basis of self-regulation in individuals from a cohort of preschoolers who performed the delay-of-gratification task 4 decades ago. Nearly 60 individuals, now in their mid-forties, were tested on "hot" and "cool" versions of a go/nogo task to assess whether delay of gratification in childhood predicts impulse control abilities and sensitivity to alluring cues (happy faces)...
