Preference for immediate over delayed rewards is associated with magnitude of ventral striatal activity.
Discounting future outcomes as a function of their deferred availability underlies much of human decision making. Discounting, or preference for immediate over delayed rewards of larger value, is often associated with impulsivity and is a risk factor for addictive disorders such as pathological gambling, cigarette smoking, and drug and alcohol abuse. The ventral striatum (VS) is involved in med...
متن کاملBehavioral and neural evidence of incentive bias for immediate rewards relative to preference-matched delayed rewards.
Several theories of self-control [including intertemporal bargaining (Ainslie, 1992) and self-signaling (Bodner and Prelec, 2001)] imply that intertemporal decisions can be more farsighted than would be predicted by the incentive associated with rewards outside a decision context. We examined this hypothesis using behavior and functional neuroimaging. First, subjects expressed preferences betwe...
متن کاملMeasuring and Modeling Trans-Border Patent Rewards
Patent rewards in countries with strong patent systems and economies serve as worldwide inducements for technological progress. Due to the national treatment provisions of leading patent laws – requiring that foreign inventors be treated equally with inventors who are citizens of the countries enacting the laws – foreign inventors and companies gain access to patent-mediated market controls and...
متن کاملMeasuring Beliefs and Rewards: a Neuroeconomic Approach.
The neurotransmitter dopamine is central to the emerging discipline of neuroeconomics; it is hypothesized to encode the difference between expected and realized rewards and thereby to mediate belief formation and choice. We develop the first formal test of this theory of dopaminergic function, based on a recent axiomatization by Caplin and Dean [2008A]. These tests are satisfied by neural activ...
متن کاملPreference for ° exibility over many periods . ¤
We consider the extension of the classical problem of preference for °exibility to many periods. Preferences are de ̄ned over sets of in ̄nite paths of choices. The main result provides a set of axioms on preferences that yield an additive representation over a subjective state space. This space is the set of preferences over choice today and feasible set tomorrow. The main new axiom, policy domi...
