The Effect of Delay Duration on Delay Discounting Across Adulthood [PDF]
The Journals of Gerontology: Series B, 2021 Literature about the relationship between age and delay discounting, or the willingness to wait for delayed rewards, is mixed. We posit that some of this heterogeneity may be attributable to inconsistent delay durations across studies. Here we investigate how delay duration influences discounting across adulthood by systematically varying the duration ...

Genomic basis of delayed reward discounting [PDF]
Behavioural Processes, 2019 Delayed reward discounting (DRD) is a behavioral economic measure of impulsivity, reflecting how rapidly a reward loses value based on its temporal distance. In humans, more impulsive DRD is associated with susceptibility to a number of psychiatric diseases (e.g., addiction, ADHD), health outcomes (e.g., obesity), and lifetime outcomes (e.g ...

Gamification and motivation: Impact on delay discounting performance. [PDF]
PLoS ONEDelay discounting is a phenomenon strongly associated with impulsivity. However, in order for a measured discounting rate in an experiment to meaningfully generalize to choices made elsewhere in life, participants must provide thoughtful, engaged answers

Delay Discounting for HIV/STI Testing. [PDF]
Sex Res Social Policy, 2023 Wait time in healthcare is an important barrier to HIV/STI testing. Using a delay discounting approach, the current study examined a systematic reduction in testing likelihood as a function of delay (wait time) until testing.In Study 1 (N = 421; data collected in 2019), participants were randomly assigned to either a chlamydia/gonorrhea group or HIV ...

Thinking about Death Reduces Delay Discounting
PLOS ONE, 2015 The current study tested competing predictions regarding the effect of mortality salience on delay discounting. One prediction, based on evolutionary considerations, was that reminders of death increase the value of the present. Another prediction, based in part on construal level theory, was that reminders of death increase the value of the future ...

Assessing the relationship between delay discounting and decisions to engage in various protective behaviors during COVID-19 [PDF]
Cognitive ResearchResearch suggests that discounting of delayed rewards (i.e., tendency to choose smaller immediate rewards over large later rewards) is a promising target of intervention to encourage compliance with public health measures (PHM), such as vaccination ...
