- Emory University neuroscientists James Rilling and Gregory Berns. They found that the act of helping another person triggers activity in the caudate nucleus and anterior cingulate cortex regions of the brain, the parts involved in pleasure and reward. Ss instructed to plan 5 acts of kindness during week. Lyubomirsky, S., Sheldon, K. M., & Schkade, D. (2005). Pursuing happiness: The architecture of sustainable change. Review of General Psychology, 9, 111-131.
- 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.
