Abstract

Young children discount the value of delayed monetary rewards more steeply than older children and adolescents. We tested the prediction that age-related differences in temporal discounting (TD) would be dependent on reward characteristics, such as reward magnitude and permanent versus transient reinforcing properties. 178 typically developing children and adolescents (8–16 years old) participated in computerized hypothetical TD-tasks, comparing TD of money with TD of an alternative reward (material rewards, desired edible rewards, social rewards, rewarding activities). Discounting was observed for all reward types although money and material rewards were discounted less. Against expectations, age-related reductions in degree of discounting were seen for all types of reward, and reductions in degree of discounting were not related to IQ.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Applied Developmental Psychology focuses on two key concepts: human development, which refers to the psychological transformations and modifications that occur during the life cycle and influence an individual behavior within the social milieu; and application of knowledge, which is derived from investigating variables in the developmental process. Its contributions cover research that deals with traditional life span markets (age, social roles, biological status, environmental variables) and broadens the scopes of study to include variables that promote understanding of psychological processes and their onset and development within the life span. Most importantly.
