Actually, keyne and I had the same reaction: wondering if the experiment takes into account the boredom factor. How long are those kids in that room with nothing else to DO but eat the marshmallow sitting in front of them? :-)
I'm not smart enough to decide if that represents a factor that actually affects the experiment, but it seems like something that should at least be acknowledged.
