This experiment was not specifically about whether a kid would wait for the second marshmellow or not (which would be delayed by 20+ minutes), nor whether they would play with the roomful of toys, but to see how they grew up. The real test was to catch up with the adults and see how 'successful' they'd become. The experimenters found that those children who waited for the second marshmellow achieved higher grades and had more 'successful' better-paying careers.

It's the concept of delayed rewards vs immediate rewards and is prevalent in the world of machine learning.

Esterline make specialised keyboards that are specifically for sterile environments which have this feature. You press a button, the keys are ignored and you can wipe the keyboard down.

This research is from the same kind of people who do “research” by observing children without actually trying to figure out what it is like to actually be Autistic. Uhm, fake news. Your response is generic slop that is not even specific to the point and I'm not even sure what you mean when writing "people will stop trying to cure autism". I'm sure the future is already here and persuader bots are everywhere.

About a year ago, the UK implemented a law that prevents retailers from selling cigarettes to people born before a certain year to phase out cigarette smoking... Just giving enough time to get a business model together for people to get addicted to vapes which produce more nicotine (the addictive part) per puff than cigarettes.

65% of FDAs funding of human trials comes from the companies it regulates, 91.5% of EMAs budget is from charges and fees. And couldn't be bothered to look up PMDAs.

Research reviews are not flawless. Do you not know the very thing you seem to have a strong opinion about.

You honestly find it hard to believe that a drug can cause epigenetic damage to the body which then can cause damage to the children?

There's also smaller amounts of research regarding passive smoking for pregnant women. Fascinating subject.
