Nisan, Mordecai
Child Development, 45, 4, 1089-1092, Dec 74
Presents a study in which 128 children, from preschool to third grade, chose between an immediate reward and a larger, delayed reward. Imposed delay of response led to more choices to the delayed reward in second graders, but did not affect the choices of younger or older children. (Author/SDH)
