Cards (4)
Participants who had been able to
delay
gratification as children, showed a greater ability to suppress
impulse
control as adults.
2. There was no significant difference between
high
delayers and
low
delayers in terms of
reaction
time nor, for the go trials , in terms of
accuracy.
3. On the no-go trials,
low
delayers performed less well than the
high
delayers on the hot tasks.
Their mean false alarm rate for the hot task was
12.2
% and
9.96
% for the cool task.
4. The low delayers showed a
decrease
in performance on the hot trials largely because of their performance with the happy
no-go
trials.
