The research, published in Psychological Science, examined young children's impulse control and tested which was more important: imposing a delay before a decision was to be made and/or being reminded that they should wait before responding. Previous studies have tended to confound the delay and the reminder. To learn the answer, read the APS press release or the Scienceblog entry. Or read the abstract of the research (which has a link to the full article).
