Congruence of BOLD Response across Intertemporal Choice Conditions: Fictive and Real Money Gains and Losses
Open accessAbstract
Intertemporal choice is predicated on the valuation of commodities with respect to delay until their receipt. Subjective value of a future outcome decreases, or is discounted, as a function of that delay (Bickel and Johnson, 2003). Although behavioral studies suggest no difference between the devaluation of real and fictive outcomes, no neuroimaging studies have investigated potential differences in the underlying deliberative process. Here, we compare behavioral and neural correlates of intertemporal valuation of real and hypothetical monetary gains as well as hypothetical losses, which have been posited to involve different mechanisms. Behavioral and neuroimaging sessions were conducted in which participants made intertemporal choice decisions in a gains condition using both real and hypothetical $100 money and in a loss condition using a fictive $100 money. Within-subject comparison of behavioral data revealed no significant difference between levels of discounting across the three conditions. Random-effects analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) data of each of the three discounting conditions independently revealed significant signal change in limbic (anterior cingulate, striatum, posterior cingulate) and executive functioning areas (lateral prefrontal cortex), whereas a repeated-measures ANOVA failed to detect differences in signal change across the three discounting conditions after correcting for multiple comparisons. These data support a concordance between real and hypothetical conditions from delay-discounting studies and further suggest a congruence of the fMRI blood oxygen level-dependent signal across brain regions associated with the deliberative process of different forms of intertemporal choice.

Delay discounting rates from hypothetical rewards are comparable to those from potentially real rewards.
“the assessed discounting rates from procedures using all hypothetical rewards were comparable to those from the potentially real procedures [15–20].”

Assessment of delay discounting using hypothetical rewards is a practical procedure that yields valid data.
“The results across these studies have led to the conclusion that assessment of delay discounting using hypothetical rewards is a practical procedure that yields valid data [15–21].”

The rate an individual discounts delayed rewards reflects the relative strength of the impulsive and executive systems.
“According to the competing decision systems view, the rate that an individual discounts delayed rewards reflects the relative strength of these two systems.”

Activation in the impulsive system is associated with valuation of reinforcers and diminishes as reinforcers are delayed.
“several studies have found that activation in the impulsive system is associated with the valuation of reinforcers [16, 42, 43, 46, 47], and that this activation is diminished as reinforcers are delayed [42, 43].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
