The effect of delay duration on delay discounting across adulthood [PDF]

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Delay discounting, probability discounting, and interdental cleaning frequency

open access: yesBMC Oral Health, 2022
Background Interdental cleaning is recommended by dentists but many people do not floss regularly. The health benefits of interdental cleaning are delayed, and sensitivity to delay is an important factor in many health behaviors.

Delay discounting: Concepts and measures. [PDF]

open access: yesPsychology & Neuroscience, 2012
Delay discounting, one element which underlies decision-making, can be defined as the depreciation of the value of a reward related to the time that it takes to be released. High rates of delay discounting are found in subjects who are willing to forgo greater rewards available only after some length of time and who show a preference for smaller ...

Delay discounting and gambling [PDF]

open access: yesBehavioural Processes, 2011
Delay discounting describes the decline in the value of a reinforcer as the delay to that reinforcer increases. A review of the available studies revealed that steep delay discounting is positively correlated with problem or pathological gambling. One hypothesis regarding this correlation derives from the discounting equation proposed by Mazur (1989 ...

Delay discounting in schizophrenia [PDF]

open access: yesCognitive Neuropsychiatry, 2007
It is well known that individuals with schizophrenia have dopaminergic abnormalities as well as memory-related difficulties, both of which are associated with impulsive decision making. We used a delay discounting measure to test the degree to which patients make future-oriented decisions.42 patients with schizophrenia and 29 healthy participants ...

Episodic future thinking in type 2 diabetes: Further development and validation of the Health Information Thinking control for clinical trials.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2023
Episodic Future Thinking (EFT) reduces delay discounting and may have the potential as a clinical tool to increase the likelihood of health-promoting behaviors.

Neural Dynamics of the Combined Discounting of Delay and Probability During the Evaluation of a Delayed Risky Reward

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2020
Delay discounting and probability discounting are two important processes, but in daily life there are many more situations that involve delayed risky outcomes. Although neuroscience research has extensively investigated delay and probability discounting

Individual differences in delay discounting are associated with dorsal prefrontal cortex connectivity in children, adolescents, and adults

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2023
Delay discounting is a measure of impulsive choice relevant in adolescence as it predicts many real-life outcomes, including obesity and academic achievement.

Parents, but not their children, demonstrate greater delay discounting with resource scarcity

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2023
Background Individuals with obesity tend to discount the future (delay discounting), focusing on immediate gratification. Delay discounting is reliably related to indicators of economic scarcity (i.e., insufficient resources), including lower income and ...

Episodic future thinking predicts differences in delay discounting: The mediating role of hippocampal structure

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
A growing body of evidence suggests that engagement in episodic future thinking (EFT) could reduce delay discounting rates. However, little is known about whether individual differences in the ability of EFT are associated with differences in delay ...
