Conditioned reinforcers are widely used in applied behavior analysis. Basic research
evidence reveals that Pavlovian learning plays an important role in the acquisition and …

Impulsive choice is preference for a smaller-sooner (SS) outcome over a larger-later (LL)
outcome when LL choices result in greater reinforcement maximization. Delay discounting is …

Interventions exposing rats to delayed-reward contingencies attenuate suboptimal impulsive
choices, a preference for a smaller-sooner (SS) over a larger-later (LL) reward. Interventions …

Behavioral interventions to improve self-control, preference for a larger-later (LL) reward
over a smaller-sooner (SS) reward, involve experience with delayed rewards. Whether they …

In delay discounting, preference reversals refer to shifts in preference from a larger‐later
reward to a smaller‐sooner reward. Steep hyperbolic discounting predicts a preference …

Impulsive choice is related to substance use disorders, obesity, and other behaviors that
negatively impact human health. Reducing impulsive choice may prove beneficial in …

Chronic exposure to delayed reinforcement has been shown to increase choice for larger,
later reinforcement in a subsequent delay discounting task. In the three experiments …

To ensure good quality delay discounting (DD) data in research recruiting via crowdsourcing
platforms, including attention checks within DD tasks have become common. These …

Because impulsive decision-making is correlated with many maladaptive tendencies,
researchers have increasingly studied methods for reducing impulsive choice. These efforts …

Impulsive choice may play an important role in serious health-related decisions, like
addiction tendencies. Thus, there is merit in exploring interventions that reduce impulsive …
