- kristianc 8y agoNeither does it deliver a guarantee on the results you get out at the end - the Stanford experiment was faked, and academics have struggled to replicate the marshmallow test.
- Mirioron 8y agoWhile I agree with your point, I do think that some kind of ethics oversight should happen over experiments like the ones you mentioned. I just think that it's absurd to expect the same from simple tests.
- hopler 8y agoI thought marshmallow was replicated but clarified -- that it showed how children react to un/trusted adults, not uncover some genetic propensity to deferred rewards.
