REVIEW: Behavioural assessment of drug reinforcement and addictive features in rodents: an overview (2006, methodology): “In this regard, an important source of construct validity of rodent models based on this rationale comes from the higher rate of discount displayed by drug addicts in similar tasks (Bickel & Marsch 2001; Kirby & Petry 2004).”
Internet Addiction and Delay Discounting in College Students (2010, background): “Several researchers have suggested that delay discounting, or the subjective devaluation of a reward that occurs when its receipt is delayed in time, may be one mechanism that underlies impulsive behavior (see Bickel & Marsch, 2001; Critchfield & Kollins, 2001; Green & Myerson, 2004; Logue, 1988).”
A delay-discounting primer. (2010, neutral): “While these findings provided evidence for inter-species continuity of the process by which delayed outcomes were discounted, concerns about the hypothetical nature of the rewards were frequently raised (e.g., Bickel & Marsch, 2001; Kirby & Maraković).”
Functional Neuroimaging of Intertemporal Choice Models: A Review (2010, background): “…and inequities in resource allocation (Angeletos, Laibson, Repetto, Tobacman, & Weinberg, 2001; Laibson, 1997), to pathologies of decision making in addiction (Bickel & Marsch, 2001; Perry & Carroll, 2008), and attention deficit disorder (Critchfield & Kollins, 2001; Plichta et al., 2009).”
A review of delay-discounting research with humans: relations to drug use and gambling (2006, background): “In a more recent publication (Bickel and Marsch, 2001), however, this hypothesis was revised to suggest that the act of smoking cessation itself may have led to decreased rates of discounting among the ex-smokers.”
Anatomy of a decision: striato-orbitofrontal interactions in reinforcement learning, decision making, and reversal. (2006, background): “Finally, the implication of the lateral OFC in delayed gratification (McClure et al., 2004) may explain why drug abusers discount the future at almost twice the rate of non-drug abusing individuals (Bickel & Marsch, 2001).”
Prospection and the Present Moment: The Role of Episodic Foresight in Intertemporal Choices between Immediate and Delayed Rewards (2016, background): “…but smaller rewards over larger but delayed ones has conversely been associated with a range of maladaptive behaviors including substance abuse, physical inactivity and pathological gambling (Bickel & Marsch, 2001; Dixon, Marley, & Jacobs, 2003; Story, Vlaev, Seymour, Darzi, & Dolan, 2014).”
Personality Pathways to Impulsive Behavior and Their Relations to Deviance: Results from Three Samples (2004, background): “Others investigators define it operationally in terms of performance on one or more tasks thought to be analogues of real world processes; for example, several investigators have operationalized impulsivity in terms of selecting a small, immediately available reward over a larger, delayed reward (e.”
Impulsivity as a vulnerability marker for substance-use disorders: review of findings from high-risk research, problem gamblers and genetic association studies. (2008, background): “, 1997); (ii) measures of delaydiscounting, which define impulsivity in terms of choice preference for a small reward available immediately (or after a short delay) over a larger reward available at some point in the future (Bickel and Marsch, 2001; Reynolds, 2006); and (iii) measures of cognitive i”
Psychophysics of time perception and intertemporal choice models (2008, background): “However, because substance misusers also discount delayed rewards in a time-inconsistent manner, which is associated with their loss of self-control [1,4,5,11], it is possible for our present findings to be generalized, to some extent, for drug-dependent individuals.”
Social Discounting and Delay Discounting (2008, background): “Prior experiments relating individual delay discounting parameters to degree of addiction to cigarettes, gambling, heroin, or cocaine (Bickel & Marsch, 2001) are also examples of revealed preference.”
