Abstract:

Abstract: Delay discounting research has been prominent or the past 20 years across non-human and human research. Delay discounting refers to the decrease of an individual's subjective value as a function of time until their receipt. In other words, choosing a sooner smaller reward over a larger later reward. Literature within delay discounting has shown significant differences between targeted populations, including cigarette users, obesity, pathological gamblers, and alcohol users to that of matched controls. With the current trends demonstrated in the available research, the question that arises is the future direction of delay discounting. The goal of this panel discussion is to identify the direction of future research, the applicability of the current research, and the generalization of this research on the public.
