Daniel Kahneman Quotes

The Children Were Watched Through A One-way Mirror, And The Film That Shows Their Behavior During The Waiting Time Always Has The Audience Roaring In Laughter. About Half The Children Managed The Feat Of Waiting For 15 Minutes, Mainly By Keeping Their Attention Away From The Tempting Reward. Ten Or Fifteen Years Later, A Large Gap Had Opened Between Those Who Had Resisted Temptation And Those Who Had Not. The Resisters Had Higher Measures Of Executive Control In Cognitive Tasks, And Especially The Ability To Reallocate Their Attention Effectively. As Young Adults, They Were Less Likely To Take Drugs. A Significant Difference In Intellectual Aptitude Emerged: The Children Who Had Shown More Self-control As Four-year-olds Had Substantially Higher Scores On Tests Of Intelligence.
