Sponsored by Arbor School and hosted by Lincoln High School, this lecture is Dr. Mischel's invited contribution to the community where two of his grandchildren are growing up.
Dr. Mischel's pioneering work on self-control continues to dominate thinking in this crucial arena of development. With his new book The Marshmallow Test: Mastering Self-Control, Dr. Mischel goes beyond thinking about assessing for willpower to understanding more deeply how self-control and executive functions work in the mind and brain, and how they can be enhanced.
