We did our own version of the "marshmallow test" with Zoe. Basically you give a kid one marshmallow, and tell them they can eat it right away if they want, OR they can wait a little while, and if they can go the whole time without eating it, they can have two. For this test, we set a timer for 2 minutes, which is what she's talking about from about 0:43 to 1:22.
There's a bunch of videos on YouTube showing kids doing this same sort of test, though in those versions the kids are usually a little older, and they're not told how long they have to wait. It's pretty funny watching what the kids do to try to distract themselves. Here's a link to one of the better ones:
