(Originally posted Aug 12, 2020) This brief clip raises a number of questions, including:

where are 'the buds'? - what are the qualitative reorganizations here?  why are the buds (e.g., of volition) not yet present for the 3 year-olds, present for the 5 year-olds, and already flowered for the 8 year-olds?  (ages are approximate, I know)  how temporary is the 5 year-olds' improved volition? does it wear off?  is it now 'activated' for good? - for the 8 year-olds, is volition developed for tasks such as standing still but still in 'bud' stage for more demanding acts of will?
