Impulsivity: The Behavioral and Neurological Science of Discounting (repost)

Impulsivity: The Behavioral and Neurological Science of Discounting by Gregory J. Madden and Warren K. Bickel
English | 2010 | ISBN: 1433804778 | 453 pages | PDF | 20 MB

This volume is an approachable, comprehensive overview of the behavioural science and neuroscience of our 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 cutting-edge researchers who contributed to this volume have documented cross-species similarities in impulsive decision making and pioneered the neuroscience of impulsive choice. In this text they provide insights into harmless impulsive acts as well as those that dominate and destory lives.
