Self-Affirmation Reduces Delay Discounting of the Financially Deprived

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2019
Financial deprivation is associated with excessive discounting of delayed rewards. In the present research, we argue that this counterproductive tendency may be driven, at least in part, by the aversive and self-threatening nature of experiencing ...

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 ...

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 ...

PIGEONS' DISCOUNTING OF PROBABILISTIC AND DELAYED REINFORCERS [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of the Experimental Analysis of Behavior, 2010
Pigeons' discounting of probabilistic and delayed food reinforcers was studied using adjusting‐amount procedures. In the probability discounting conditions, pigeons chose between an adjusting number of food pellets contingent on a single key peck and a larger, fixed number of pellets contingent on completion of a variable‐ratio schedule.

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.

The neuroanatomical correlates of individual differences in delay discounting: A voxel-based morphometry study

open access: yesJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology, 2019
Delay discounting refers to the reduction in the present value of a future reward as the delay to that reward increases, which is related to various problematic behaviors, such as substance abuse. In this study, we explored the neuroanatomical correlates

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.

A delay-discounting primer.

open access: yes, 2010
Given the importance of research findings and the potential of further research to aid in the prediction and control of impulsivity, the primary focus of this chapter (and this book) is on choice and the failure of future events to affect current decisions.

The effect of cognitive challenge on delay discounting [PDF]

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2016
Recent findings suggest that the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC), a region consistently associated with impulse control, is vulnerable to transient suppression of its activity and attendant functions by excessive stress and/or cognitive demand.
