Children are found to exhibit high degrees of delay discounting compared with adults in many delay discounting studies, which might be due to the asynchronous development of “bottom-up” and “top-down” neural systems. However, the temporal dynamics associated with the two systems in the develop...
We further refer to the factor in front of r2 which captures the devaluation strength as the discount factor. While the majority of studies infer κ by fitting a sigmoid function to the behavioral performance under this model via least squares [see e.g., (31, 38, 43, 62,...
behaviour during self-control tasks, yet has not been examined as a potential confounding factor for any self-control paradigm. Taking the further and/or delayed reward may require the subject to spend more time interacting with the task or travel closer to the experimenter, which could be fear...
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is characterized by deficits in impulse control across a range of behaviors, from simple actions to those involving complex decision-making (e.g., preference for smaller-sooner versus larger later rewards). This study investigated whether changes in motor...
