To get the self-regulation strategies right in this segment, says Rosemarie Truglio, senior vice president for education and re search, they consulted with none other than Walter Mischel, the mastermind behind the marshmallow test.
Mischel proposed teaching Cookie cognitive control strate gies like "Think of the cookie as something else" and remind ing himself of that something. So Cookie sees the cookie is round and looks like a yo-yo, and dutifully repeats to himself over and over that the cookie is a yo-yo. But then he gobbles anyway.
To help Cookie take just a nibble-a major triumph of willpower-Mischel suggested a different impulse-delay strategy. Alan tells Cookie, "I know this is hard for you, but what's more important: this cookie now, or getting into the club where you'll get all kinds of cookies?" That did the trick.
A mind too easily distracted by the least hint of a cookie will not have the staying power to understand fractions, let alone calcu lus. Parts of the Sesame Street curriculum highlight such elements of executive control, which creates a mental platform prerequisite for tackling the "STEM" topics: science, technology, engineering, and math.
"Teachers in early grades tell us, I need kids to come to me ready to sit down, focus, manage their emotions, listen to direc tions, collaborate, and make friends," Truglio explained. "Then I can teach them letters and numbers."
"Cultivating a sense for math and early literacy skills," Levine told me, requires self-control, based on changes in executive func tion during the preschool years. The inhibitory controls related to executive functioning correlate closely with both early math and reading ability. "Teaching these self-regulation skills," he added, "mar actually rewire parts of the brain for kids in whom they have been underdeveloped."
