Does the exposure to "cooler" versions of the stimulus facilitates delay of gratification? - Deepstash

Does the exposure to "cooler" versions of the stimulus facilitates delay of gratification?

Yes. Take marshmallows as an example, a “cooler” version of it can be a photo of marshmallows. The photo contains the cool information about the object, such as its appearance, color, and shape, but it lacks the consummatory fragments that make it desirable and that elicit the “go” response. As one child put it, you can't eat the picture.
