- #38 Generally, humans prefer large to small, immediate to delayed, and guaranteed to uncertain rewards. However, as the delay preceding delivery of a larger reward increases, or the likelihood of receiving a larger reward decreases, the reward’s subjective value decreases. This decline results in a tendency to choose small immediate/certain rewards instead of larger delayed/uncertain rewards. Declines in subjective value attributable to the time of reward delivery are termed delay discounting. Declines that relate to the reward’s uncertainty are termed probability discounting.
