Social network and temporal discounting [PDF]

open access: yesNetwork Science, 2017
AbstractFor reasons of social influence and social logistics, people in closed networks are expected to experience time compression: The more closed a person's network, the steeper the person's discount function, and the more narrow the expected time horizon within which the person deliberates events and behavior.

Price Transmission During Promotions: A Case Study of Spanish Milk Brands

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Price promotion is the marketing tool typically used by retail brands to boost sales and gain market share. In this paper, we intend to investigate the price transmission mechanism among competitive brands in Spain when price reductions that are associated with price promotions take place.

Food Tastes in the United States: Convergence or Divergence?

open access: yesAgribusiness, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigates how food consumption tastes have changed in recent decades across the United States. Using NielsenIQ data for over 77 million transactions, there is evidence of divergence in food tastes across regions from 2007 to 2016 and across households of different income, education, and race/ethnicity groups.

Not all discounts are created equal: Regional activity and brain networks in temporal and effort discounting

open access: yesNeuroImage, 2023
Reward outcomes associated with costs like time delay and effort investment are generally discounted in decision-making. Standard economic models predict rewards associated with different types of costs are devalued in a similar manner.

Temporal discounting of aversive consequences in rats [PDF]

open access: yesLearning & Behavior, 2017
Previous research has extensively evaluated the impact of delay on the value of positive reinforcers, but the study of its impact on the value of aversive consequences is scarce. The present study employed a modification of Evenden and Ryan's procedure (1996, Psychopharmacology, 128(2), 161-170) to obtain data on temporal discounting of an aversive ...

VAE+DDPG: An Attention‐Enhanced Variational Autoencoder for Deep Reinforcement Learning‐Based Autonomous Navigation in Low‐Light Environments

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Variational Autoencoder+Deep Deterministic Policy Gradient addresses low‐light failures of infrared depth sensing for indoor robot navigation. Stage 1 pretrains an attention‐enhanced Variational Autoencoder (Convolutional Block Attention Module+Feature Pyramid Network) to map dark depth frames to a well‐lit reconstruction, yielding a 128‐D latent code ...

Cognitive effort devaluation and the salience network: a computational model of amotivation in depression

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychiatry
IntroductionAmotivation in depression is linked to impaired reinforcement learning and effort expenditure via the dopaminergic reward pathway. To understand its computational and neural basis, we modeled incentive, temporal and cognitive burden effects ...

Temporal reward discounting in children, adolescents, and emerging adults during an experiential task

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2014
The goal of this study was to examine age effects on the ability/willingness to wait for large rewards in a real temporal reward discounting task from childhood to adulthood. Therefore, a real temporal discounting task was administered to children aged 6-
