Caudate responses to reward anticipation associated with delay discounting behavior in healthy youth

open access: yesDevelopmental Cognitive Neuroscience, 2014
Background: Choices requiring delay of gratification made during adolescence can have significant impact on life trajectory. Willingness to delay gratification can be measured using delay discounting tasks that require a choice between a smaller ...

Encoding of Marginal Utility across Time in the Human Brain [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Marginal utility theory prescribes the relationship between the objective property of the magnitude of rewards and their subjective value. Despite its pervasive influence, however, there is remarkably little direct empirical evidence for such a theory of

Risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning for control of stochastic linear systems

open access: yesAsian Journal of Control, EarlyView.
Abstract This paper presents a risk‐aware safe reinforcement learning (RL) control design for stochastic discrete‐time linear systems. Rather than using a safety certifier to myopically intervene with the RL controller, a risk‐informed safe controller is also learned besides the RL controller, and the RL and safe controllers are combined together ...

The hippocampus encodes delay and value information during delay-discounting decision making

open access: yeseLife, 2020
The hippocampus, a region critical for memory and spatial navigation, has been implicated in delay discounting, the decline in subjective reward value when a delay is imposed.

Individual differences in delay discounting and nicotine self-administration in rats [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Delay discounting—a behavioral measure of impulsivity defined as a tendency to prefer a small, immediate reward over a larger reward delayed in time—has been extensively linked with tobacco smoking.

The case of muddled units in temporal discounting [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
While parameters are crucial components of cognitive models, relatively little importance has been given to their units. We show that this has lead to some parameters to be contaminated, introducing an artifactual correlation between them.

Optimization of pharmaceutical research and development by early‐phase assessment of investigational medicinal products

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Small and mid‐sized pharmaceutical innovators often have limited in‐house health economics and market access expertise, and may struggle to align development strategies of investigational medicinal products with health system needs and payer expectations.

Spontaneous neural activity in the three principal networks underlying delay discounting: a resting-state fMRI study

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry
Delay discounting, the decline in the subjective value of future rewards over time, has traditionally been understood through a tripartite neural network model, comprising the valuation, cognitive control, and prospection networks.

Altruism among relatives and non-relatives [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The amount of their own monetary reward that undergraduate participants claimed they were willing to forgo, in order to give $75 to another person, decreased hyperbolically as social distance increased between the participant and the other person ...

DIMINISHING MARGINAL VALUE AS DELAY DISCOUNTING [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 1992
The fundamental law underlying economic demand and exchange is the tendency for value of marginal units to diminish with increasing amounts of a commodity. The present paper demonstrates that this law follows from three still‐more‐basic psychological assumptions: (a) limited consumption rate, (b) delay discounting, and (c) choice of highest valued ...
