The ability to foresee and plan your life does not come to us immediately. So, kids of three to five years old live only «here and now», imagining the future exactly as the present minute looks like.
The ability to foresee and plan your life does not come to us immediately. So, kids of three to five years old live only «here and now», imagining the future exactly as the present minute looks like. Psychologist from the University of Ottawa (Canada) Christina Atance (Christina Atance) during the game treated the children with salty chips. When she asked what to bring to the game tomorrow — water or chips, everyone without exception answered: water (because at the moment they were very thirsty). The children with whom they played without treats chose a traditionally forbidden and therefore tempting delicacy — chips. So the children do not harm, not wanting, for example, to «warm up» before going out — it’s just that now they are comfortable and unaware that everything will change in a couple of minutes.
