Spatial discounting of food and social rewards in guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
In temporal discounting, animals trade off the time to obtain a reward against the quality of a reward, choosing between a smaller reward available sooner versus a larger reward available later.

Associations between a one-shot delay discounting measure and age, income, education and real-world impulsive behavior [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
There has been discussion over the extent to which delay discounting – as prototypically shown by a preference for a smaller-sooner sum of money over a larger-later sum – measures the same kind of impulsive preferences that drive non-financial behavior ...

Discounting of Reward Sequences: a Test of Competing Formal Models of Hyperbolic Discounting

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
Humans are known to discount future rewards hyperbolically in time. Nevertheless, a formal recursive model of hyperbolic discounting has been elusive until recently, with the introduction of the hyperbolically discounted temporal difference (HDTD) model.

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroscience, 2013
Decision makers often face choices between smaller more immediate rewards and larger more delayed rewards. For example, when foraging for food, animals must choose between actions that have varying costs (e.g., effort, duration, energy expenditure) and ...

Network formation by reinforcement learning: the long and medium run

open access: yes, 2003
We investigate a simple stochastic model of social network formation by the process of reinforcement learning with discounting of the past. In the limit, for any value of the discounting parameter, small, stable cliques are formed.

Discounting behavior: A reconsideration [PDF]

open access: yesEuropean Economic Review, 2014
We re-evaluate the theory, experimental design and econometrics behind claims that individuals exhibit non-constant discounting behavior. Theory points to the importance of controlling for the non-linearity of the utility function of individuals, since the discount rate is defined over time-dated utility flows and not flows of money.

Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, delay discounting, and risky financial behaviors: A preliminary analysis of self-report data. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2017
Delay discounting-often referred to as hyperbolic discounting in the financial literature-is defined by a consistent preference for smaller, immediate rewards over larger, delayed rewards, and by failure of future consequences to curtail current ...

The effect of time on delay discounting in younger and older adults

open access: yesAustralian Journal of Psychology
Objective Delay discounting refers to the devaluation of future rewards as a function of time. Previous studies proposed the relationship between time perception and delay discounting in ageing, while there is a lack of evidence about the effect of ...
