Self?control in adult humans: variation in positive reinforcer amount and delay

In five experiments, choice responding of female human adults was examined, as a function of variations in reinforcer amount and reinforcer delay. Experiment 1 used a discrete?trials procedure, and Experiments 2, 3, 4, and 5 used a concurrent variable?interval variable?interval schedule. Reinforcer...
