Abstract: Due to the maladaptive proclivities related to steep delay discounting, interventions have been developed to reduce discounting. Although a vast literature is dedicated to delay discounting, far less attention has been given to effort discounting. Effort discounting is correlated with maladaptive outcomes, similar to delay discounting. Research regarding the relation between effort- and delay-discounting within individuals is discrepant, which may be due a lack of standardized effort discounting tasks employed with humans and nonhumans. Interventions that have been successful at reducing delay discounting have been applied to effort discounting across humans and nonhumans. Methods of assessing both forms of discounting, relations among effort- and delay-discounting, and interventions to reduce discounting will be presented on and discussed. |
