To test he difference in reaction times from children to adults
To study the functions of separated and independant hemispheres
If delay of gratification in childhood predicts impulse control abilities and sensitivity to alluring or social cues at the behavioural and neural level when participants were in their 40's.
To see how fast people react to hot cues
