![]() ![]() ![]() Someone else might find out I have 200 quid coming to me and make sure they benefit, not me. ![]() What is the subject's previous experience with getting things that have been promised? Do they usually have to share resources? How do I know you will give me 200 pounds next month? I might never see you again! You might be lying. However, like the marshmellow test, this is not a test of self-control or of understanding time duration this is a test of trust. Hammond repeats the common misunderstanding that most people will pick double the money later, but people with ADHD will take the money now: that is, they are unable to wait. Hammond's discussion on the spatial conceptualising of time was interesting, but other parts were too generalistic and made culturally-specific assumptions.Įxample: on page 37 Hammond restates the impulse control test of asking the reader if they would like 100 pounds now, or 200 pounds in a month's time. So instead of pop-physics, about what the hell time is, instead this is pop-psych, about things like how time seems to move more quickly when you are older because a year is only 1/60th of your life, and not 1/8th of your life, as it is when you are a kiddling. This is not 'Time Warped: Unlocking the Mysteries of Time', but instead, 'Time Warped: Unlocking the Mysteries of Time Perception'. The moral of my review is when Xmas shopping, and deciding to grab an interesting-looking book for yourself from the shelf, read the whole title. ![]()
