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

Collaborative Multiagent Closed‐Loop Motion Planning for Multimanipulator Systems
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.This work presents a hierarchical multi‐manipulator planner, emphasizing highly overlapping space. The proposed method leverages an enhanced Dynamic Movement Primitive based planner along with an improvised Multi‐Agent Reinforcement Learning approach to ensure regulatory and mediatory control while ensuring low‐level autonomy. Experiments across varied

The sooner the better: clinical and neural correlates of impulsive choice in Tourette disorder
Translational Psychiatry, 2021 Reward sensitivity has been suggested as one of the central pathophysiological mechanisms in Tourette disorder. However, the subjective valuation of a reward by introduction of delay has received little attention in Tourette disorder, even though it has ...

On the origin of utility, weighting, and discounting functions: How they get their shapes and how to change their shapes [PDF]
, 2015 We present a theoretical account of the origin of the shapes of utility, probability weighting, and temporal discounting functions. In an experimental test of the theory, we systematically change the shape of revealed utility, weighting, and discounting ...

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.Introduction In recent years, the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), a rare disease, has significantly progressed, improving patients' survival and overall quality of life. However, current SMA treatments are expensive, and some (nusinersen) are very inconvenient for patients.

Discounting and the environment should current impacts be weighted differently than impacts harming future generations? [PDF]
, 2018 Background: In Life-Cycle Assessment (LCA), decision makers are often faced with tradeoffs between current and future impacts. One typical example is waste incineration, where immediate emissions to the air from the incineration process have to be ...

Early evolutionary history of the seed
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT The seed is an essential stage in the life history of gymnospermous and angiospermous plants, facilitating both their survival and dispersal. We reappraise knowledge of the evolutionary history of the gymnospermous seed, from its origin in the late Devonian through to the well‐known end‐Permian extinctions – an interval encompassing the ...

No evidence for inhibitory deficits or altered reward processing in ADHD: data from a new integrated incentive delay go/no-go task [PDF]
, 2016 Objective: Cognitive and motivational factors differentially affect individuals with mental health problems such as ADHD. Here we introduce a new task to disentangle the relative contribution of inhibitory control and reward anticipation on task ...

The neural correlates of temporal reward discounting [PDF]
WIREs Cognitive Science, 2013 Temporal reward discounting (TD) refers to the decrease in subjective value of a reward when the delay to that reward increases. In recent years, a growing number of studies on the neural correlates of temporal reward discounting have been conducted. This article focuses on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies on TD in humans. First, we

Too Old to Bother: CEO Age and Corporate Stakeholder Engagement
Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We examine how CEO age, a key demographic attribute, affects corporate stakeholder engagement. Drawing on Upper Echelons Theory, we argue that older CEOs are less responsive to stakeholder concerns because of heightened conservatism, shorter time horizons, and greater risk aversion.
