Descriptive Models of Intertemporal Choice 1 Running Head: DESCRIPTIVE MODELS OF INTERTEMPORAL CHOICE Descriptive Models of Intertemporal Choice Part 1: Accuracy and Applicability

Two comparative models of intertemporal choice have recently been proposed as an alternative to the standard hyperbolic discounting model. One, the interval discounting model, retains the notion that intertemporal choice is governed by discounting, but proposes that discounting involves direct comparisons between the options along the time attribute. The other, the tradeoff model, discards the ...

Intertemporal Choice as Discounted Value Accumulation

Two separate cognitive processes are involved in choosing between rewards available at different points in time. The first is temporal discounting, which consists of combining information about the size and delay of prospective rewards to represent subjective values. The second involves a comparison of available rewards to enable an eventual choice on the basis of these subjective values. While...

Running head: HEURISTICS EXPLAIN INTERTEMPORAL CHOICE 1 Money Earlier or Later? Simple Heuristics Explain Intertemporal Choices Better than Delay Discounting1

Heuristic models have been proposed for many domains of choice. We compare heuristic models of intertemporal choice, which can account for many of the known intertemporal choice anomalies, to discounting models. We conduct an out-of-sample, cross-validated comparison of intertemporal choice models. Heuristic models outperform traditional utility discounting models, including models of exponenti...

Money earlier or later? Simple heuristics explain intertemporal choices better than delay discounting does.

Heuristic models have been proposed for many domains involving choice. We conducted an out-of-sample, cross-validated comparison of heuristic models of intertemporal choice (which can account for many of the known intertemporal choice anomalies) and discounting models. Heuristic models outperformed traditional utility-discounting models, including models of exponential and hyperbolic discountin...

Functional Neuroimaging of Intertemporal Choice Models: A Review

People often forsake a larger reward later for a smaller reward sooner. The process of devaluing the larger, later prize is called temporal discounting or delay discounting, which lies at the core of intertemporal choice. Here, we describe the methodology and findings of research on the mechanisms of intertemporal choice, with a focus on those that utilize functional MRI (fMRI). We consider the...
