Who cares about an extra marshmallow? They should do the experiment with slices of pizza.
- p1mrx 8y agoI'd imagine it hard to conduct a controlled experiment when step 1 is "bake a pizza".
- thaumasiotes 8y agoPresumably, you'd get the pizza from a pizza place. If you go for a national chain, you wouldn't even be restricted to testing kids all in the same location.
- fma 8y agoI would imagine a kid would think they would be full after the first slice and not care about the second. It would be better for the test to have the child rank edible items they like. Then a few weeks later run the test. But as a new father, I've learned that eating training will vary widely between families. Some families do not provide sweets as treats at all. Some will always provide it after every meal so the kids do not feel it is a reward or scarce resource. You can read up on the Satter method for details.
