+The Stanford marshmallow experiment, conducted in the 1960s and 1970s by psychologist Walter Mischel, explored the
+ability of children to delay gratification. In the experiment, preschoolers were offered a marshmallow with the promise
+of a second one if they waited a designated time (typically 15 minutes) without eating the first. The study's findings
+revealed that children who waited longer to eat the marshmallow showed positive correlations with future outcomes like
+higher SAT scores and better social functioning. However, later research has questioned the predictive power of the
+original study, particularly when controlling for socio-economic factors.
