The lecturer refutes all three arguments presented in the reading passage, showing that for the past 60 years 'Mashmallow study' test has formed the basis of researches on delayed gratification- which is the willingness to wait to receive a reward. The study and the longitudinal follow up was the most famous experiments in the history of psychology. However, the professor challenges the experiment and results by stating the blemishes and explains it by providing counter-arguments.
First of all, according to the passage, the samples were children between the age of 4 or 5 were offered one marshmallow suddenly or if they wait for 15 to 20 minutes they will get 2 marshmallows. Every 2 in each group ate them immediately while one waited for 2 marshmallows. But the professor casts doubts on the sampling method of the experiment. She states that albeit 500 children have participated in the study, only 20% were concentrated and followed the longitudinal analysis. Therefore, the original sample selection itself is biased. She adds that the one who showed delayed gratification may most probably come from privileged backgrounds. Thereby, the conclusions cannot be judged for wider populations.
Secondly, the tutor posits that the level of trust in the researchers by the children made the study dubious. In other words, children would be likely to wait for the researchers to please them. To illustrate she says that at Rochester University, a study was performed to show the relation with trust and delayed gratification. They took children from a diverse environment, some from reliable ones who trusted adults and others from unreliable environments who never trust an adult. They found that those children who came from a reliable area waited 4 times higher than those who don't. This point contrasts with the reading's key point. According to the reading, the children belong to a stable and reliable environment showed a high rate of success in all fields and they had ameliorated relationships with one another. The Marshmallow Study never take consideration of those from unstable environments.
Finally, the reading passage confirms that success comes from choosing discipline in their life. Nonetheless, the professor contradicts this by contending that trust plays a major role in shaping young minds. For example, she elaborates that some children try to please others to make their parents proud. As a result, trust and motivation can be the contributing factors rather than discipline.
