Abstract: In order to explore the attention mechanism and the development of self-imposed delay of gratification, 120 children aged 3 to 5 with median self-control ability were distributed over 4 attention conditions,both delayed and immediate rewards present simultaneously,only immediate reward present,only delayed reward present,and no rewards present.The results suggest that the mean delay time of young children's self-imposed delay of gratification was the longest under the no rewards present condition,and the mean delay time were shorter under the other three rewards present conditions.This phenomenon shows the crossage stability.In addition,the results also suggest that the development self-imposed delay of gratification has significant difference among 3 to 5 years old children,and it shows the developmental tendency with age increasing.

Key words: Self-imposed Delay of Gratification, Attention Condition, Aged 3 to 5
