Answer to Question 1

a . Capacity to delay gratification refers to the ability to make immediate sacrifices in anticipation of later rewards.
b. Much research has been done on delay of gratification with children. It is typically studied by providing children with a bell and a treat (e.g., a cookie); then telling children that they can have the treat at any time if they simply ring the bell and alert the researcher that they would like it; but also telling the children that if they can wait ten or fifteen minutes (and refrain from ringing the bell and receiving the treat), they can have an even larger treat (e.g., two cookies).
c. Research suggests that delay of gratification can be improved with practice, or exercise.

Answer to Question 2
