English to Spanish: The Marshmallow Test. General field: Medical Detailed field: Education / Pedagogy
Source text - English In 1970 Stanford University professors conducted a study at the Bing Nursery School on the campus. The purpose of this study, which became known as the marshmallow test, was to understand the control of deferred gratification, and more than six hundred children participated in the experiment. Children were placed in a room where there were no distractions, except for a treat of their choice - a marshmallow, cookie, or pretzel - placed on, a table.
The children could eat the snack right away; however, if they waited fifteen minutes without giving in to the immidiate urge, they would be rewarded with two snacks. Some children ate the marshmallow immediately; others delayed for five or six minutes. Only one-third were able to earn the reward.
The researchers followed the participants for twenty-five years, and the ones who had the discipline to resist eating the marshmallow became the most successful in life.

El propósito de este estudio, que se conoció como la prueba del malvavisco era entender el control de la gratificación diferida, más de seiscientos niños participaron en el experimento. Los niños fueron colocados en una habitación donde no había distractores, a excepción de una recompensa de su elección - un malvavisco, galleta, o pretzel - colocados en una mesa.
Los niños podrían comer el aperitivo de inmediato; Sin embargo, si esperaban quince minutos sin ceder a la tentación inmedita, serían recompensados con dos aperitivos. Algunos niños comieron el malvavisco inmediatamente; otros esperaron durante cinco o seis minutos. Sólo un tercio fueron capaces de ganar la recompensa.
Los investigadores siguieron a los participantes durante veinticinco años y los que tuvieron la disciplina para resistirse a comer el malvavisco llegaron a tener más éxito en la vida.
