The adaptive nature of impulsivity (2010)
Authors
Abstract
(from the chapter) In the first part of this chapter, we focus on adaptive aspects of intertemporal choice in animal foraging behavior, and especially on the problem of impulsivity, which we see as a central problem in intertemporal choice. In the second part of this chapter, we take a broader perspective, including domains other than food and extending beyond impulsivity to a more encompassing view of intertemporal choice. Within this general view, we explore the adaptive nature of impulsivity. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved) (chapter)
