We discuss the concept of temporal discounting, which refers to the tendency for individuals to devalue rewards as the time delay to their receipt increases. The first source explores the connection between temporal discounting and the control of saccadic eye movements, suggesting that the brain considers both the value of a reward and the time required to obtain it when making decisions about how to move the eyes. The second source investigates how power influences temporal discounting, finding that individuals with a greater sense of power tend to discount future rewards less, potentially due to increased optimism about their ability to achieve future goals. The third source explores the impact of search habits on temporal discounting, suggesting that individuals who are accustomed to searching for rewards are more likely to discount delayed rewards more steeply. The fourth source focuses on attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), finding that individuals with combined-type ADHD, particularly those with hyperactivity-impulsivity symptoms, exhibit steeper temporal discounting, particularly when reward magnitudes are small. The final source examines the contrast effect in temporal and probabilistic discounting, demonstrating that people's perceptions of time and probability can be influenced by the context in which they are presented with choices.
