摘要
We examined the effect of holding reinforcement rate constant on delay discounting of hypothetical and real money when delays were actually experienced. In some conditions, participants were required to wait for the delayed rewards, and in some conditions, reinforcement rate was held constant by adding blackout periods after immediate rewards. Typical discounting occurred with the standard procedure and when there were no blackouts, but not when we held rate of reinforcement constant. Real and hypothetical money produced the same outcomes.
