Participants in the sweet condition will be better able to self-regulate than participants in the non-sweet condition. Hence persevering longer at the word scramble task, even after going through a depletion exercise (watching the video).]]> 2020-08-12 11:02:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676929534 tjhuang2019 https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676930119 Increase blood sugar level results in higher concentration levels.

Those who did not eat the candy had to engage in acts of self control, hence had reduced cognitive resources to concentrate on the task.

Furthermore, by expending more resources on the 'boring' video, participants who did not eat the candy would do poorer on the anagram task.

As a result, they are likely to perform better for the puzzle.

Sugar could affect the way we think, giving us more energy to complete a task. 

Self-regulation is limited, so when we it up for an earlier task (boring video) we will have less to expend for the anagram task

The boring video was supposed to take up our mental energy and affect our ability to self-regulate because we had to self-regulate when we concentrated on it.]]> 2020-08-12 11:05:48 UTC https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676931189 tjhuang2019 https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676931223 People who ate the candies will spend a longer time on the anagram test as compared to those who didn't because they did not need to engage in self-regulation.]]> 2020-08-12 11:05:52 UTC https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676931223 tjhuang2019 https://padlet.com/tjhuang2019/v9f2nkcn6wo4tb2f/wish/676931292 People who consumed the candies did not have to exercise any form of self-regulation, as compared to the people who did not consume the candies.
