Does physically presenting distractors facilitates delay of gratification? - Deepstash

Does physically presenting distractors facilitates delay of gratification?

Maybe. If the distracting object were itself intriguing, it would have an even greater effect on diverting activation away from the relevant hot spot. Also, it is important to note that, the exposure to external stimuli should only activate non-relevant hot/ cool system networks. If the distractor activates the cool node that leads directly to the hot spot, the “go” response may be triggered, causing the person to pursue instant gratification.
