Personal Impulsivity Mediates the Effects of Neuromodulation in Economic Intertemporal Choices: A Pilot Study

open access: yesStudia Psychologica, 2020
Involvement of the prefrontal cortex in intertemporal choices has been long recognized. Using neurostimulation techniques, recent studies have indicated that the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) influences performance on intertemporal choice ...

Automatic biases in intertemporal choice [PDF]

open access: yesPsychonomic Bulletin & Review, 2019
Dual process theories of intertemporal decision making propose that decision makers automatically favor immediate rewards. In this paper, we use a drift diffusion model to implement these theories, and empirically investigate the role of their proposed automatic biases.

Incremental theory of personality attenuates the effect of environmental uncertainty on intertemporal choices

open access: yesJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology, 2022
To examine the impact of environmental uncertainty on individuals’ intertemporal choices and the moderating effect of implicit personality theory, two studies were conducted.

New paradoxes in intertemporal choice [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2011
Similar to research on risky choice, the traditional analysis of intertemporal choice takes the view that an individual behaves so as to maximize the discounted sum of all future utilities.

Waiting is painful: The impact of anticipated dread on negative discounting in the loss domain [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2022
According to the positive time-discounting assumption of intertemporal decision-making, people prefer to undergo negative events in the future rather than in the present.

Inference and preference in intertemporal choice [PDF]

open access: yesJudgment and Decision Making, 2021

Monkeys are more patient in a foraging task than in a standard intertemporal choice task. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Studies of animal impulsivity generally find steep subjective devaluation, or discounting, of delayed rewards - often on the order of a 50% reduction in value in a few seconds. Because such steep discounting is highly disfavored in evolutionary models of

A measure of inconsistencies in intertemporal choice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS One, 2019
The aim of this paper is to derive an index able to indicate if a discount function exhibits increasing or decreasing impatience, and, even, in the last case, whether the decreasing impatience is moderate or strong. Moreover, it will be shown that the sign of this indicator coincides with the sign of the convexity index of the discount function when ...

Intertemporal choice as discounted value accumulation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Two separate cognitive processes are involved in choosing between rewards available at different points in time. The first is temporal discounting, which consists of combining information about the size and delay of prospective rewards to represent ...

Intertemporal Discrete Choice [PDF]

open access: yesSSRN Electronic Journal, 2016
The discounted logit is widely used to estimate time preferences using data from field and laboratory experiments. Despite its popularity, it exhibits the "problem of the scale": choice probabilities depend on the scale of the value function. When applied to intertemporal choice, the problem the scale implies that logit probabilities are sensitive to ...
