From what I recall this is actually a common test in psychology used to examine obedience and delayed gratification in children, known as the Stanford marshmallow experiment (no relation to the Stanford prison experiment); basically a child is asked not to eat a marshmallow given to them until the adult supervisor returns, with the promise of being given more marshmallows to freely eat if they succeed.

One variation I recall featured an experimental group being told that they were being watched by an invisible person who was in the room with them; kids in this group were more likely to obey the adult's instructions and not eat the marshmallow compared to kids in the control group.
