  abstract: "Impulsivity: The Behavioral and Neurological Science of Discounting explores the basis for the seemingly universal tendency to devalue rewards or punishments that are not immediately available. When confronted with any number of behavioral choices--such as whether to use drugs, gamble, remain faithful to a partner, or overeat--individuals can opt for one of two outcomes: an immediate benefit, such as getting high, or a delayed or probabilistic benefit, such as health, money saved, or the satisfaction of a good life. This volume is an approachable, comprehensive overview of the behavioral science and neuroscience of these impulsive choices and their relation to delay discounting--the tendency to devalue temporally distant rewards or punishments, even though they may greatly outbalance the immediate benefit of our choices. The distinguished researchers who contributed to this volume have documented cross-species similarities in impulsive decision making and have pioneered the neuroscience of impulsive choice. They provide insights into relatively harmless impulsive acts as well as those that dominate and destroy lives. They ask whether impulsivity and risk taking are traits or states; explore the neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and computational modeling of neural systems underlying impulsivity; and examine the relation between impulsivity and addictions, health decision making, altruism, and attention-deficit disorder. Theoretical debates regarding the origins of impulsivity round out this text, which will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in psychology, behavioral economics, psychopharmacology, behavioral analysis and therapy, and the science of decision making"--Jacket.
